      Tons of people are pinging me about it, so here goes. Whatever @Laurie_Garrett has just claimed on TV, there was a huge indoor component to the White House event that ended up being a cluster. We have reports *and* pictures so not hard to get the facts straight. @NicolleDWallace https://twitter.com/BestOLuck/status/1366516272918368260 …pic.twitter.com/va8ACEgGCw

      I've never gotten her to correct anything (and I'm far from the only person to have tried) so I'm not hopeful here but... this has been a troubling. With all due respect to her past great work, there isn't a great pattern here.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1359225865939406857 …

      Oh come on. "95% efficacy" for either Moderna or Pfizer in the FDA process DOES NOT mean "95% less severe hospitalizations and death in vax'ed individuals." This is a strikingly incorrect "correction." https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1359219118315036673 …

      If you see my thread above, you see scientists trying, desperately trying to correct her on basic stuff, to no avail. No, "vaccine resistance" isn't "akin to antibiotic resistance". No, that's not how vaccine efficacy works. I respect her past work a lot, but... this isn't right.

      I respect that there are some things where there is legitimate disagreement. But then there are other things where basic facts are not in dispute. The White House cluster had a huge and well-documented indoor component over many days. @NicolleDWallacehttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/08/us/white-house-coronavirus-cdc.html …

          Anyway, I hope that the zillion people pinging me have misunderstood the claims made on @NicolleDWallace's show. I'll check the transcript later. The cluster around the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation included multi-day indoor events, including the day of the Rose Garden ceremony.

          I agree with this depiction and was wondering when someone would say something. I don’t know if she is just careless, misunderstanding or what but it’s not great for science communication.

          Zeynep, looks like Nicolle called your bluff. I watch her show each day so it will be good to see you tomorrow.

          It’s not a bluff. She is correct.

          I tried to warn you all that the Evangelical elites had revivals and rallies planned and ready to carry on despite a pandemic. Now it seems that that the #PrayerMarch2020 was likely the source of the super spreader event held at the Rose Garden. Will be adding screenshots below.

          I like Laurie but was thinking same re the indoor events that weekend. She’s a bit in the more conservative side when it comes to COVID predictions.

          I doubt they'll get tested. The moto is deny, deflect, derail, and gaslight.
