DC public health campaign tells people how life will (not?) be different after the vaccine

Commentary’s Noah Rothman shared this sign from a Washington, D.C. public health campaign on what life will be like after you get your vaccine.

In other words, everything stays exactly the same as it is right now:

Are they trying to get people on the fence about getting the vaccine to just skip it altogether?

Truly terrible messaging https://t.co/FQQqKWBR61

“This is the worst messaging possible”:

This is the worst messaging possible, @_DCHealth. This is a disincentive to getting the vaccine. Just awful. https://t.co/VDAvcQnXvC

We expect there will be exceptions:

And to all the people angry with Rothman telling him they will do just what this sign says? Yeah. We don’t believe you:

All of you who insist that this is exactly what you're going to do when you're vaccinated are the public health equivalent of instragram influencers waking up in full makeup in a made bed with a newspaper five-star breakfast waiting for them.
