Yes EVERYONE can have vaccine takes because the communications from the federal government are something that WE ALL encounter.

Also, *vaccination* is not the same thing as a *vaccine*. Vaccines are little bits of biology. I know basically nothing about vaccines. Vaccinations are events occuring w/in a social-material system. MDs aren't experts on that topic. I spend a lot of time studying these systems.

I co-wrote a book about these systems.

Anyway: the capacity to produce healthy people is realized in decentralized human and material systems, it is not something some smart MD w/ a Harvard degree produces alone. https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781526143372

If there aren't well developed systems in place to explain federal regulatory decisions about the JnJ vaccine and then to facilitate an understanding of vaccine safety, then these regulatory decisions take on lives of their own.

(I've learned from @asosin's work on this).

What trusted people are there already in place at the local level to help people make sense of the risk? Where can people turn to makes sense of this news? We did not build that infrastructure (yes infrastructure) so the FDA's communications is interpreted via local custom.

This is why we need to HEAR how people are reacting to this news instead of telling them to shut up and listen to the experts. The only reason academics and MDs on here are willing to defer to the experts is because those experts are in their social groups, are their peers.

But for many, fancy MDs & PhDs are not part of the daily social life. So how is this news going to be interpreted? These people tut-tutting to us to shut up and stay in our lane probably don't realize that it's not going to be via conversations with pro statisticians and MDs.

erm I meant "vaccination takes"
