Former FDA commissioner and Pfizer board member Dr. Scott Gottlieb shared some thoughts via his Twitter account over the weekend about a federal court temporarily pausing the implementation of the Biden vaccine mandate. He included some well-reasoned, level-headed commentary about whether there are less heavy-handed alternatives to reaching the goals that everyone wants during the coronavirus pandemic -- without resorting to mandates. Not that he was offering a capitulation of some kind to anti-vaxxers.
In fact, his point in bringing all that up actually represents an understanding of the following. Overreach during a health crisis like the one we're in now? It can have profound secondary effects. "The risk is organized opposition to this OSHA mandate starts to bleed into broader opposition to vaccination and vaccine mandates more generally, and mandates society long embraced become part of this new political fashion," Gottlieb tweeted. "And a whole generation starts to turn against vaccines." There is a real danger, in other words, in not getting buy-in from the public during a pandemic. Especially when misinformation, half-truths, and distortions are so readily available thanks to the internet and social media. And that brings us to an interaction that made headlines on Monday, involving the White House deputy press secretary.
