      This is the dilemma. The CDC should tell the truth. But we also need leaders to set good policy! Reconsidering my view on this per @DaveAHopkins: not CDC's fault that politicians and corporate leaders are using the guidelines as an excuse to drop needed indoor mask requirements.https://twitter.com/CountingBaskets/status/1393629497749028864 …

      Having multiple public health officials advocating over the last 48 hours that the CDC prevaricate it's health advice away from actual empirical evidence for "sociological reasons" has been depressing.

      Oh come on. Putting sociological reasons as separate from or opposed to telling the truth is nonsense. The sociological reasons are about details of enforcement, lack of warning, and the fact that a lot of people did not have a chance yet. Eligibility opened up not that long ago.

      Also - second shot of the vaccine requires the time to be sick the next day. For people in service industry with kids, that's incredibly difficult - now they'll have unvaccinated going into their stores claiming they're vaccinated.

      It takes about two weeks for first dose to start having effects. Six weeks for full process. The polls show especially the working poor have a larger share of “would like to get vaccinated but haven’t arranged it yet”, including time off for side effects. They got zero warning.

          Substantial numbers have strong enough effects though to need a day or two off. You can’t expect people not to think about that, especially the working poor.

          It's been bothering me that the so much of the messaging doesn't explicitly include the 2 week period. I didn't even know about the six weeks! I see so many people express themselves in a way that sounds like they think it's instantaneous.
