Amazing piece by the remarkably prescient @zeynep, who keeps getting things right with Covid19 *way* before anyone else. Examples?
- masks
- ventilation
- safety of outdoors
- underselling vaccines
- risk compensation
... and more!
Highly recommended.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/how-public-health-messaging-backfired/618147/ …

Dayam.
@zeynep you're my new journo- hero. I've been ranting about all these same things with all the people I know that work in Public Health (lots) since this thing began. And I'm in Toronto so it's not specific to the US or Trump.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -
And yes I'm an epidemiologist.

Thank you! Some of this has played out in fairly similar ways in Canada and Europe, too. Not saying Trump wasn't a problem, but there is a broader problem for sure.
