Good article. Among other things, it highlights how much we still don't know about this mess.
I like to always highlight not to reduce reality to a single variable, when the correct model contains so many we can't even enumerate them.
I also try very hard not to be told what to think. This requires work. Sadly our society, perhaps fueled by social media, sees individuals who "know" the truth about all kinds of subjects. In quotes because, more often than not, what they believe is in a range between false, a fantasy or, at best, inaccurate or incomplete.
We all know that the concept of vaccines (isolated from any particular event or case, just the idea) is good. From there to always religiously equate "vaccine" to "good" is a mistake. Even worse, label those who do not want to get vaccinated as stupid, well, to be kind, potentially uninformed.
We need more conversation and less hatred.
Issues rarely boil down to a single variable. Through conversation we often learn about the hundred or more we might have missed because we "know" the truth as it was told to us.
