maybe someone with the power and authority to do so should release an honest, open,
full disclosure about the vaccine including considering (not dodging) a healthy dose of open questions to assuage the sceptics.
if they keep just releasing media puff pieces then people will question and doubt even more.
why not release a road map? why not release a list of official knowns/unknowns? why not acknowledge some legitimate concerns? you know how they do when they want people to not drink at xmas, or want people to stop smoking. consistent, honest, open, detailed and informative #messaging.

it came out in the british press that this will probably last until 2022 at least. things like that leaking out just undermines trust. and we don't know if it will stop transmission but messaging is muddled and disjointed.
"More than half of the UK population could have to wait until 2022 to get the coronavirus vaccine, the National Audit Office (NAO) has said.
The public spending watchdog said that 267 million doses of vaccines have been bought by the government - costing £2.9 billion."

"Prof Ugur Sahin, BioNTech co-founder, also raised hopes the jab could halve transmission of the virus, resulting in a "dramatic reduction in cases".
Last week, BioNTech and co-developers Pfizer said preliminary analysis showed their vaccine could prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19.
About 43,000 people took part in tests.
In an interview on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, Prof Sahin said he expected further analysis to show the vaccine would reduce transmission between people as well as stop symptoms developing in someone who has had the vaccine.
"I'm very confident that transmission between people will be reduced by such a highly effective vaccine - maybe not 90% but maybe 50% - but we should not forget that even that could result in a dramatic reduction of the pandemic spread," he said."

then you have the
questions of mutations, questions of animal reservoirs.
the amount of attention that the brits are paying to their latest mutation means that this is probably a bigger problem than they are telling us. mink mutations are still lurking.
In a world of poor messaging it is natural to ask questions and sometimes get the wrong answers. it contributes to some elements going off the edge, distrusting whatever the govt says and coming under the influence of alternative sources of information.
Where's the proper detailed messaging? Why does this information void exist at all?
Yeah some brehs on here can piece it all together (to varying extents) but how about your aunt, granny, cousins etc? Older members of the family find the entire thing too confusing and too contradictory.
