I appreciate your views on this! A huge frustration of mine throughout the pandemic is the lack of transparency there has been regarding vaccines, what good they are doing, and what we need to be doing to mitigate public risk.

I especially appreciate that you are reporting on the nuance of people who are disabled and immunocompromised. A lot of the reporting I'm seeing is either "Everything is fine!" or "Hunker down for another year of isolation!!" But in reality, there are a lot of people somewhere in between and who need specialized information. Should a healthy teenage boy who has had Covid get a vaccination and two boosters the same as a lung transplant recipient? These are questions that need more information, not less. Workplaces and the public square need to make reasonable accommodations. And medical decisions need to be discussed by well-informed healthcare providers.

Thanks for your good work.

My partner had a transplant so this is a daily issue for us and our family. When mask mandates fizzled, we only went gout with N 95’s. Travel and socializing are still limited. We’re lucky to be retirees and can remain in our bubble. My heart breaks for all of you having to negotiate the new workplace while trying to have lives.
