    The messaging needs to be pretty simple to me, though I don’t know if these numbers are accessible to the public.

    It needs to be “x number of people died from COVID today, and y (which should be a tiny number) number of them were over 2 weeks out from full vaccination. We now resume our normal programming.”

    "from Covid" or "with Covid"?

    If the CDC’s new messaging isn’t phrased in the form a question and if that question isn’t “Are you immunocompromised?” then I will be sorely disappointed.

    I’d go simpler:

    “There have been exactly as many Sharknado movies as people who had problems with the JNJ vaccine.”

    I think I live in a parallel universe. I've been reading Twitter threads lately of vaccinated people talking about when it will be okay for them to stop wearing masks when walking around outside. And they're not talking about walking on busy, crowded streets. I keep wanting to say the time it was okay to not wear a mask in those situations was starting a year ago. And I haven't seen anyone wearing a mask outside in at LEAST 9 months anywhere other than Las Vegas...where walkways are narrow and crowded. I don't get it.

    It sounds like you’ve stumbled upon rural progressive Twitter.

    As for my first, no serious side effects. At the end of the day I was more exhausted than normal, and looking back I did have some brain "fog." But no sore arm, my arm actually felt better compared to a flu shot.

    I got my 2nd Pfizer yesterday and am suffering no ill effects at all.

    Only 5800 people out of 66M that have been vaccinated have gotten Covid-19.

    That is remarkable and is the only thing we should be talking about around these vaccines.

    74 dead and 396 hospitalized are even more impressive #s.

    Re: Covid-19 Part XII

    This seems less than optimal:

    https://twitter.com/YouGovAmerica/st...495199748?s=20

    The CDC recommendation to pause Johnson & Johnson vaccine use causes public confidence in the vaccine to sink 15pts

    Perceptions before CDC announcement
    Safe - 52%
    Unsafe - 26%

    Perceptions after CDC announcement
    Safe - 37% (-15)
    Unsafe - 39% (+13)

    Absolutely but instead Fauci continues to fearmonger. His rhetoric is not going to help to cause to get people vaccinated

    Thanks for putting numbers to this. Should a one in a million thing cause such a response from the CDC given how this would effect the effort to get "everyone" vaccinated? I really gotta question the wisdom of the CDC.
