Given the dramatic and— let's be honest—irreversible consequences of the announcement of a J&J pause, why aren't we set up to have had ACIP already convene last night? I'm for investigating everything, even this rare (6 out of 7 million), but we should be set up for this by now.https://twitter.com/US_FDA/status/1381925615478132739 …

I don't know what the "rare adverse effects emergency response plan" had been, but I hope there was one, especially after AZ/Europe. These are difficult times, for sure, and it's a difficult job. And what's done is done. I hope it's all resolved quickly.https://twitter.com/mammuthus/status/1381956140142100483 …

I see it's "people should stop commenting", "begging the editors to properly contextualize the news", "look how rare it is" day again. All good, except a problem called reality: that's just NOT how the 21st century public sphere works. I wouldn't mind if it did, but it doesn't.

The tragedy is that all this "stay in your lane "ironic dunking is good primarily only for... Twitter klout, which is exactly why it is a *negative* for our pandemic response. It's just contributing to the problem it can't solve. Walter Cronkite isn't going to save this, folks.pic.twitter.com/nB7maIvKNK

Not only is this true for many "stay in your lane" dunks ("the dunker" is not qualified, just dunking), the problem remains even when it *is* deserved and "the dunker" is qualified. The problem is.. the 21st century itself. Have to adapt, not wish it away. https://twitter.com/MClendaniel/status/1381984654270599169 …

Okay, I'm gonna go back to what I was writing but for now, conclusion: dynamics of the public sphere in the 21st century cannot be ignored, and cannot be solved merely with better communication, even if we can advocate at least for that part to happen. The response has to adapt.

Had pretty much the same thing happening in Germany with AZ. Today, about 30% of the population say they would refuse vaccination with AZ.

But what about the alternative scenario? If the CDC ignored a known risk of a vaccine and it turned out to be more serious than first assumed, I think that does more long-term damage to trust and vaccine attitudes b/c it is even greater fuel for those cognitive/media dynamics

While informative, The article from
@nytimes does not mention symptoms to watch for in the weeks following the J&J vaccine. That lack does not contribute to my confidence in the system. What are your thoughts? -
this article does a good job mentioning what to look for: https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/US-recommends-pause-for-J-J-vaccine-over-clot-16096597.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&fbclid=IwAR2ACDpFqOE23CUjo__nC5t1TxyBg4kniZrMlHue20wyUy5PpvbEwUx8-AA …

Yep, I have a coworker who was already hesitant to get vaccinated and this has just confirmed her fears. I’m not sure the pause will make her feel more confident.
