How often are vaccinated people wearing #masks inside? @RiskPolicy group found out & report this & more in their new tech report focused on the #COVID-19 #vaccine @bentleyu #BentleyUResearch https://t.co/cI6KaAR9fV

[Bentley Center for Health and Business @BentleyuCHB]

Do US adults believe the #COVID-19 #vaccine is important? Safe? Is the process for deciding who gets it fair? @bentleyu faculty @r_deLeo & @danielleblanch with the @RiskPolicy group answer these questions in their report https://t.co/cI6KaAR9fV

[Bentley Center for Health and Business @BentleyuCHB]

“Of the 2268 Wave 2 survey respondents, 997 (44%) reported that they had gotten a #COVID-19 #vaccine...a major increase from Wave 1 (Jan/Feb ’21) when only 158 (7%) of these respondents had been vaccinated” @RiskPolicy found in 2nd tech report, @bentleyu https://t.co/cI6KaAR9fV

Refining the theory of focusing events based on what we’ve observed during COVID. Working with @r_deLeo and @RiskPolicy is such a privilege! #lovemyjob https://t.co/yrrwkU6mGE

[Global Studies @BentleyGLS]

Prof. @r_deleo and his colleagues @RiskPolicy argue focusing event theory needs to be refined to better describe the political fallout caused by slow-onset, long-duration disasters, like the COVID-19 pandemic. You can read their analysis here:
