Vaccines have saved millions of lives by preventing diseases like polio, measles, and smallpox. But their success depends on public trust. That’s why the approval process is deliberately slow, methodical, and transparent. From @epiren.bsky.social:

Workers in Merced County, CA are harvesting sweet potatoes. There's so much work at this time of year that there are multiple shifts. These workers start at 4 a.m. when it's still dark. Lamps hung on the tractor give them enough light to sort the potatoes by size into boxes. #WeFeedYou

“Pundits will never remind their readers of overflowing morgues when the virus was left to spread unchecked. They’ll never discuss young lives lost to COVID or those lost to anti-vaccine disinformation. … Only the harms of mitigation measures, both real and imagined, matter to pundits.”
Emily Oster is one of many people I had in mind when I wrote this about sheltered do-nothing pundits who voiced their opinions with no regards to what actually happened in schools and hospitals.
