@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

@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 On 2) the approach was heavy-handed and paternalistic, but the cities that were imposing vax requirements had previously been keeping businesses closed or imposing severe restrictions. So this was less heavy-handed by comparison, a bridge toward opening up. — PolitiTweet.org
