People may share conspiracy theories to be liked. Critical thinking skills or media literacy won’t be enough to inoculate some people against #disinformation. Excellent study highlights importance of social insights along with behavioral insights to manage #infodemic

These assumptions based on steady rate of vaccination to 80%. Unlikely. Will prob level out once willing people r vaccinated. then begins harder job of engaging “wait & see” & hesitants. W states opening up early, this will be even harder. ow.ly/ABg230rWEF8

Bullshit. New dads can hold and soothe the baby. Change diapers. Give the baby a bath. Do laundry. Clean the house. Go shopping. And yes, even bottle feed. Especially in the middle of the night. Paternity leave is important for the whole family, equitable, and manly.

In September, unvaccinated people were 5.8 times more likely to get Covid and 14 times more likely to die from it, according to CDC. Protect yourself and the people around you—get vaccinated.
