The fact that vaccines **greatly** reduce severe outcomes from COVID is often treated as a footnote or afterthought, when it has profound implications both for society's response to COVID and for your personal risk calculus. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a little skeptical of this result, since it doesn't match all sorts of observational data (e.g. restaurant reservations or air traffic numbers) showing people's social activities back to maybe 80-90% of pre-pandemic levels. So maybe some social desirability bias. But still. — PolitiTweet.org

@IChotiner "As much as possible" certainly allows for a fudge factor, although it's a reasonably strong statement. Hard to know. What's also weird is that few people I know IRL are "avoiding people as much as possible" even though they're mostly vaxxed, college-educated liberal-ish types. — PolitiTweet.org
