@RossBarkan 1) Vaccines provided quite a lot of protection against transmission in early/mid 2021; most people's vax was relatively recent and Omicron hadn't come along. And they still provide some protection, FWIW. 2) Cities thought vaccine mandates would incentivize people to get vaxxed. — PolitiTweet.org

@RossBarkan I think that's more forgivable than others. Initial studies suggested high effectiveness vs. even mild infection. Protection wasn't as durable as hoped, especially vs. variants, and some scientists had predicted as much, but this *was* a case where the evidence was evolving IMO. — PolitiTweet.org

@RossBarkan On 1) there were *some* claims, including by high-ranking officials, that the vax completely blocked transmission. Those were bad. I wish the communication had been more about risk reduction, especially re: severe outcomes. But the vax did really < transmission in early/mid 2021. — PolitiTweet.org
