The best decisions at the population level may not be the best decisions at the personal level. I think physicians should be able to make a decent call at the personal level.

Back in March we were told masks didn't work because there was a shortage and it was "the right thing to do" to say they didn't work. We were also told by high scientific institutions that closing borders was a bad idea.

Probably many people wonder now if the vaccine really is safe, or if it's just "the right thing to do" at the population level to get a lot of people vaccinated even if it's not safe. Hard to regain trust after dropping the ball so hard too many times.

Were the latency issues addressed?

The point is that in real life problems it's more important to throw away ridiculous "assume that"s than having very neat models.
