On the other hand, the one message you don't want to get out is "we decided not to pause vaccinations because we were afraid of what it would do to the vaccine's image" - and if there were deliberations to that effect, that will get out.
Transparency can be painful in the short run, but in the longer run I feel like it's often the better option.

- virgilp 6y agoNo matter what you do, this is the news they'll get from Russia. So the only reasonable strategy is to handle that as a separate and independent issue (combatting fake news from Russia) that shouldn't affect your vaccination strategy or other strategies.
- captainmuon 6y agoIronically, if you don't want to undermine the vaccine's image, the message should be that you don't care about the vaccine's image. People should think the decision to stop or continue is made for scientific or bureaucratic reasons, not because the vaccine is dangerous or you are hiding something.
