@Naperdebunker BTW - thank you for a thoughtful and respectful dialog. New to social media, and this was the most positive exchange I’ve seen!

@Naperdebunker 💯

@Naperdebunker As best I know, J&J has not begun their trials yet - which is part of why I would like to see this addressed more openly. Maybe I have wrong info, but in the absence of an alternative - would really like to see CDC and NIH step up here.

@Naperdebunker In my view, myocarditis and natural immunity are two topics that seem to have validity. Not saying either are valid - saying I would like to see a more open and thoughtful communication plan on these topics. They are not being messaged well, or candidly, and I think it is a miss

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker Yep, get it. I respect your POV. Same goal, just a different vision of how to best get there.

@Naperdebunker Public policy can’t be dictated by public opinion. If it were LQBTQ rights would not exist, Obama Care would not have passed, and a right to chose would not have passed until the late 90’s. A republic, flawed as it is, ensures the much needed voice of the minority.

@Naperdebunker On the other hand, 41M recovered. 209M vaxed. Cant find a reliable stat on recovered and vaxed. Population >18 is 260M, implying 80-96% immunity in the targeted population. We just opened the 80m you reference. What about this adoption rate requires shame, anger, and mandate?

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker We have to let go of this fear that “vaccinations have to be perfect” or no one will take them. Of course there are side effects. Denying them only feeds the conspiracy minded and reluctant. Admit the risks. Allow for research and debate (for REAL issues).

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker Not false. Emerging data that has validity & should be researched & discussed openly. This isn’t ‘covid made my cousin impotent’. Both these topics have solid data & medical experts saying they are real. The facts are facts. It’s the implications we don’t understand.

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker I accept your opinion/knowledge on some topics. On this, I’ll take my own counsel and that of constitutional scholars. Biden got baited into this move. It’s a bad end game & there’s a better way. My 2. Roe is foundational.

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker I believe you are more informed than I on the credibility of these sources. Not trying to debate the merits of a particular source. The point is some thoughts on how our PH officials can improve effectiveness of communication to “bring people along”. Don’t need debunking ✌️

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker We want the same outcomes. Just a different vision on how to get there.
Re SCOTUS, with respect, your interpretation of Jacobson is not fully informed. Jacobson predated Roe. If you value our rights to chose, this is a dangerous path.

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker Well, the data from the NIH, the CDC, Israel. Heck, even Gupta acknowledged it on CNN in his interview with Dr Fauci. Natural immunity is real. Not saying it’s a good strategy. Im saying that to build confidence in public health, not acknowledging it is a flawed comm strategy.

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker Good research coming out of the UK. Plus here’s another worthwhile read.

And lots of very well educated pediatricians raising good questions. These aren’t tin foil hat folks. Im not a dr, IMO appears to be a valid question.

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker Yes. We can take that approach & seem to be doing so. Look at vax rates since the announcement. Lawyers will get rich arguing it, it won’t get implemented, distrust will continue to grow. And we’ll move backwards on solving the actual public health issue. Real world vs theory.

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker In the end, I believe we are slowing progress, creating division, and unfortunately handing a roadmap to some not so good people that will be used for ‘how to use public interest’ as a weapon to take away our right to chose what happens to our bodies.

[Concerned in Naperville @NapervilleIn]

@Naperdebunker I believe we need more civility, transparency, and hearts & minds efforts. The vitriol, shame, etc are only harming us. Look at the dive in vax rates after the announcement of mandates.
