      I guess I'm old-fashioned but I tend to think that when your first instinct is to attack someone's credentials, you don't have a good argument, especially when it comes to complex multidisciplinary policy questions that it's good to have different perspectives on.https://twitter.com/celinegounder/status/1382299663269761024 …

      With all due respect to @NateSilver538, he is not an expert on the psychology of vaccine confidence. He is a poll aggregator and political pundit. He is not an infectious disease specialist, epidemiologist, vaccinologist, virologist, immunologist, or behavioral scientist. pic.twitter.com/HBrI6zj9aa

      Replying to @NateSilver538

      The whole issue here is that *nobody* is an expert on the psychology of vaccine confidence (though I'd trust you over anyone in public health), which is why we should default to making and communicating sane expected-value-based decisions rather than murdering people over voodoo.

      confident man on the internet who hasn't done the reading is not a good look. neither is engaging in blind appeals to authority, of course. we can do better than this (though maybe not on this hellsite.)

      There is a field and a lot of study, but I do think nobody can confidently tell us how this one will really play out now. Whatever happened in the before times that we studied... was a really different context. That said, I do find pandemic era studies more relevant.

      Probably makes more sense to go from broad principles that we know apply (on trust/information etc), focus on minimizing trade-offs whenever possible, and prioritize saving lives since a lot of the rest can be tweaked along the way but rolling back exponentials is really uphill.
