I see you stayed clear of J&J Vs Pfizer/Moderna. I am sure that was by design given that the main point you are trying to make is that Vaccines work. However, wouldn’t it be good to map the breakthroughs to vaccines to maybe arrive at a booster decision sooner . I am hoping someone smarter than me already has a plan for the same!

You’ve been critical of early attempts at messaging that were intended to (for lack of a better word) manipulate people (for example, saying masks don’t work in order to preserve supplies for healthcare workers). To me this latest CDC guidance shows they’ve learned that lesson a bit. As it’s become clear how effective the vaccines are, it’s become less and less defensible to mandate masks for the vaccinated, so I think the CDC is building credibility here by saying that openly, instead of yielding to the pressure to maintain mandates that no longer make much epidemiological sense.
