- This tweet's timeline accidentally gives the impression that the C-19 vaccines were developed in mere weeks, which could seem unbelievable, if you are so inclined, or part of a fraud.#
- The reply now displayed below that tweet, however, indicates that we were profoundly lucky that a new technology, thirty years in the making, happened to be ready for use by knowledgable scientists at the moment when C-19 came knocking. #
- Taken together, the tweet and reply are just one reason to see that public health emergencies are also information and public relations emergencies, almost by definition. Trying to move a whole society's emotional state, understanding, habits, trust, and willingness to act.#
- Seems to me that telling this more elaborate story is the last thing President Trump would ever stir himself to do for the country he (in his fashion) presumably loves--it's just not his style to speak clearly to us about nuances. But I don't really think the story's been told properly by President Biden either, or his team. I don't blame people entirely for doubting, though I myself do not doubt the vaccines.#
It feels as though every new law, stretch of state highway, and breakfast cereal now must have a patriotic, partisan, or even propaganda-like name. Next thing you know we’ll be standing for a rousing sing-along of the national anthem before every inning of every major league ball game.#
