This is where things went awry. Dr. Fauci is a brilliant scientist, but his understanding of how to communicate critical public safety messages is a WHOLE different skill set!
Misinterpretation is a FAILURE of the communicator
It is also naive and presumptuous of an official to assume "people" (i.e., the unvaccinated) were "misinterpreting."
Indeed, I remember unvaccinated MOCKING honor system, joking they LIED and "ID'd" as vaccinated.

She is NOT communicating effectively
3. Part A
There is an arrogant and dysfunctional lack of transparency of WHOLE truth. I get impression a "public story" is created. Badly misdirected, a public health agency needs to follow the SCIENCE.
Compare the leadership of this Nurses Union President.
There was NO way to describe that crazed Georgia Trump call as a narrative. It bobbed and weaved, returning to themes in a crazed improvisational rant.
