      Buried within this story about long-term care facilities, there is an alarming statistic claiming 63% of staff "refused" the vaccine. There is high rates of hesitancy and deferral among staff, it *is* a crisis, but the CDC report does not say 63% "refused."pic.twitter.com/9d16ePo3nZ

      So here's the actual data with something really really important highlighted. (37.5% vaccinated: some of rest may have been vaccinated elsewhere, not yet offered, and then there is the (unknown) hesitancy/refusal portion). We need a rapid effort on this, and just polls won't do.pic.twitter.com/1QPxCXeGxa

      Anyone who works in teaching/conducting surveys sociologically can tell you that they can *shape* information flows, not just report it: especially in this current environment where a lot of things are unprecedented. NEED HIGH-QUALITY QUALITATIVE WORK ASAP.

      Yes. The actual report is aware of this measurement issue, and does not claim 63% refused. I'm now wondering how many of our other refusal stats are off similarly. (Also every poll I've seen has limited options that fit preconceived notions of the "why"). https://twitter.com/asociologist/status/1362768304805470212 …

      When I last designed a survey, we first put in a lot of time for qualitative data—it is intense work, to be honest. Of course, then, we had time and now we need to be quick. It is a challenge, but we should do what we can. Qualitative insights are not "anecdotes"—it's essential.

      I suspect this is happening right now. You cannot just take prepandemic research/insights and apply them, as-is, to a novel situation like the current one. What are we missing/distorting? We won't know till you do the legwork. This is so important, though.https://twitter.com/farrahbostic/status/1362770968926691336 …

      Want to know what happens when you don’t do *any* qualitative research? You end up writing really incomplete surveys, and then your data appears to “tell” you something that isn’t really true. See this little 🧵 https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1362766809301209090 …

          That's right. I'm correcting here publicly and hoping for a correction soon because misreporting higher than real refusal rates—and this is absolutely higher than real for sure—can *contribute* to more refusal because that's how it always works.https://twitter.com/norabird/status/1362772494961229824 …

          Just saw someone else taking these numbers seriously and on the one hand it’s important to be urgent about persuasion but...that’s then just contributing to a perception no one is taking it! 🙃
