Sounds like you are moving the goalposts from “it doesn’t help at all (after 9 months) and isn’t even a vaccine” to “there was poor government marketing and tech industry actions were bad”, which are very different things.
I think that downplaying the benefits of the vaccines is somewhere between uninformed and irresponsible. I don’t care nearly as much about criticism of government commas and the tech industry.

Even the pro-vaccine side which I’m one of says effectiveness declines to near zero after six to nine months without a booster. > I don’t care nearly as much about criticism of government commas and the tech industry. You should care because they are a major cause of the anti-vaxxers and causing people to die and be hospitalized unnecessarily because of ineffective messaging
- sunshinesnacks 3y agoI’m not sure we are having a productive conversation about the word “vaccine” or vaccine effectiveness, so I don’t have anything else to add there. When I said I don’t care as much about criticism of government comms (commas was a typo) and the tech industry, I meant I’m not too concerned that you are criticizing them. I don’t think I fully agree with you, but I don’t feel strongly enough that I would have replied to your comment if that was all it appeared to be about.
