    United States of Epistemic Fracture. Also: vaccinated folks should feel free to stop following most media for a while, in my opinion. It's really difficult to get informed rather than misinformed, right about now.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1380623001146777605 …

    54% of people who *have already been vaccinated* are still very or somewhat worried about catching COVID. But only 29% of people who *refuse to get vaccinated* are very or somewhat worried about catching COVID. Great job, everyone. https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2021/04/09/half-vaccine-rejectors-believe-safe-travel-now … pic.twitter.com/07Eu4v5qqU

        (The "refuse to get vaccinated" folks probably aren't listening to me but I'd tell them here's an easy, safe and effective way to bring your own individual risk from this pathogen back to baseline levels, and then I can tell you to stop following media too closely as well.🙂)

        Also I don’t mean there isn’t great reporting. It’s just there is also a lot of the below examples, too. Very easy to get confused about the reality.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1379488560093528066 …

        Michigan has worst surge in the US, with rising hospitalizations & deaths. African-Americans, especially in Detroit, remain dramatically undervaccinated.

        The media & other institutions should also take seriously their role of conveying accurate and contextualized information. The pandemic already sucks, people shouldn't be struggling with unfounded fears on top of it.

        My wife is affiliated with NYU which just sent around an email encouraging students and faculty to continue to avoid travel, even if fully vaccinated. Just doesn't seem to make a sense and doesn't make getting vaccinated sound particularly appealing for those on the fence.

        Does 'already vaccinated' indicate that they've had their second shot plus two weeks (or whatever), or just their first? I've had my first but not my second and I'm aware that I'm now somewhat protected, but not exactly feeling secure yet.

        (I can't find an indication in the report of what they considered "already vaccinated" - probably just people who said "I am already vaccinated" to the poll question - in which case that definitely would include people in my situation.)

        I don’t think this is as bad as it may seem. I am vaccinated but would probably say I’m concerned about covid: worried about the country/the world/potential for vaccine resistance strains.

        People don’t listen to every word in the question, or they interpret the question differently than it’s meant.

        I’m 8 days out from my first shot and I will still be worried about catching Covid for at least another week or two

        The grownups in my household are vaccinated, but kids can’t get it yet. I wonder if that’s part of what’s driving the discrepancy; I’m still worried about what we can do safely, especially as infection rates climb.
