@ddayen 2) In the UK, when similar reports arose re: AZ, the government was like "yeah, these are no big deal because they're very rare and the benefits outweigh the risks". And perceptions of AZ remained largely intact, whereas they plunged in the EU where the vaccine was paused. — PolitiTweet.org

@ddayen Well, two things here: 1) The FDA was the one who chose to highlight those reports and treat them as having tremendous significance despite how rare they were. And they came from a federal database, not news accounts. — PolitiTweet.org

@ddayen I think in a low-trust environment, people assume that actions speak louder than words. So when the FDA paused administration of the vaccine, people read that as "wow, this must be worse than they're letting on!" even though the FDA said it was out of an "abundance of caution". — PolitiTweet.org
