  • I hate that people in charge were never able to properly communicate this subtle difference.

    It was communicated just fine. I got that info. You got that info. It was out there. But the signal to noise ratio was unreal. People seem to prefer soundbites and false dichotomies over accurate, nuanced information. Sprinkle in a metric shitton of wedge issue misinformation delivered via sledgehammer and you get what we got:

    VACCINE BAD!

    VACCINE GOOD!

    GRANDPA HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL DIE!

    VACCINE STILL GOOD!

    I HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL GET SICK AND BOSS MAKE ME STAY HOME AND NO GET MONEY! VACCINE BAD!

    VACCINE… BAD?

    DOCTOR LIED! SCIENCE BAD!

    Well actually…

    YOU STUPID, VACCINE BAD!

    VACCINE BAD!

    COVID OVER, NO NEED VACCINE!

    HOORAY!
