Media errors on vaccine messenging

1. Breathlessly covering anecdotes of people who get SARS cov 2 after vaccination (you know it's inevitable, and the vaccine is still awesome?)

2. For some inexplicable reason, coverage of vaccination prior to November 6th was about how rushed it is, and coverage after November 6th how good it is

3. Telling people that after vaccination they must continue precautions that have zero data supporting their use after vaccination, and are unlikely to continue to exert meaningful ARR

4. Unscientific coverage of long covid. On one page of the newspaper, you're taught if something comes after something else it must be due to that. And on the next page they urge you not to draw false causal conclusions about vaccines

5. Promotion of ideas that are substantively flawed policy ideas, such as vaccine passports for going to the movie theater or restaurant

More to come in my article this week, that actually performs a policy analysis of this question.

6. Being unable to distinguish between the substantive differences in potential benefit and risk for adults versus children, and providing no forum to flush out these distinctions.
