I'm staunchly pro-vaccine across the board, including the covid vaccine. As commentators on both sides of the aisle have noted, though, the messaging has been muddled. On the one hand, we're being told the vaccine is >90% effective. On the other, we're told that even with the vaccine, we need to use caution and social distance and wear face masks and all that. People are seriously hyperparanoid about the vaccine, but I think rightfully confused on the messaging. They're telling people the vaccine is the path back to normalcy (and I agree), but then restrictions are kept in place.
In areas where they can be more clear, they just need to be. People just want clarity. No matter how I try to explain it, my dad still can't let go of "first they told us not to wear facemasks, and now they say we need facemasks."
