At least this one has a scary name and gross effects.

Sometimes it’s the little things that get people to act more rationally.

I won't repeat the gravest sin of the public health establishment and those in their circles: I won't tell a well-meaning lie to try to coax the behavior I want.

I will tell them the truth: they are operating at a severe credibility deficit, and I am *very* reluctant to say a version of "I will let the CDC tell me when I can stop paying close attention to issues that people at the CDC personally think are important".

I just can't muster it right now. I think most can't. I hope the establishment attempts to engage the population where it is rather than where it wishes we were, but lol.
