      Our endless downplaying of the minimum needed of people - in order to convince the most noncompliant - has been the most preventable part of our covid downfallhttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1359328328264658949 …

      So, I'm not going to tag all the folks I've had disagreements with for *months* now, since December, who didn't believe me that our bungled messaging on post-vaccine transmission was fueling vaccine hesitancy. 😬How many examples have we heard now? I hear this every single day. https://t.co/AmOgwNgx39

      The worst part is that the current repetition method also doesn't convince the noncompliant. They are noncompliant partly because of polarization and the scolding tone just further entrenches the polarization. The compliant are already compliant, but need hope and an end game.

          It's been a disaster and nowhere has it been worse than on here. It's like people have no understanding of human nature whatsoever.

          Yeah definitely, it’s entirely pointless and in fact self defeating and harmful to lower the bar for the unreachable. It started with only needing a lockdown for two weeks, then distancing, masking, and now what you speak of
