      Nate Silver Retweeted Healthcare Insider

      It's pure gaslighting at this point to say we don't know whether vaccinated people spread the virus. Tons of studies—including from the CDC!!!—show that vaccines massively reduce (though probably not entirely eliminate) transmission.https://twitter.com/HealthInsider/status/1380606469004009478 …

      Nate Silver added,

      Fauci said it's important for all Americans — both vaccinated and unvaccinated — to continue avoiding crowds and socially distancing until we know for sure that vaccinated people don't spread the virus. Patience will "keep a lid" on cases, he said. https://www.businessinsider.com/vaccines-reduce-coronavirus-transmission-early-research-2021-2 …

      Unless I missed something, while it’s true that lots of studies show a strong effect on reducing asymptomatic transmission, thus creating a lower bound for transmission, there’s much weaker evidence demonstrating that vaccinated infected people transmit less virus

      I'm not sure if some of this isn't the outlet framing? Did he really say " until we know for sure that vaccinated people don't spread the virus"? Like at all? That bar seems strikingly high? Also maybe we should look at CDC guidelines rather than one person who also says this:pic.twitter.com/qgaiOgZ5zK

          I'd like a little more official and consistent communication, and a little less freelancing by, however prominent, individuals being presented as general advice for everyone tbh.

          I agree that we see WAY too much of this open-ended stuff and it really undercuts the official message...

          This reminds me of the double masking thing. Almost all the headlines were saying "CDC recommends double masking" when they didn't actually recommend that; they just said "if you double mask, that will improve protection if you do it correctly."
