I'm really glad @JuliaLMarcus wrote this. So much media coverage/public-health messaging in the U.S. lately has felt like a competition to see who can produce the bleakest, most pessimistic "THIS WILL NEVER END" take. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
"Trying to eliminate even the lowest-risk changes in behavior both underestimates people’s need to be close to one another and discourages the very thing that will get everyone out of this mess: vaccine uptake." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
The key point: "The vaccines are poised to deliver what people so desperately want: an end, however protracted, to this pandemic." The focus should be on encouraging people to get vaccinated, not shaming those who hug each other once they are. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
