@rru142@Moon Maybe it's just me and I'm more "special" than I'd like to be, but hearing leaders be unsure of themselves actually makes me a lot more confident in them. Because it reassures me that there is a thinking process behind their pronouncements, and not just obstinacy or blind ideology.
@guizzy@Moon (...imagine a leader presenting his followers with a sentence like "I am not sure, I do not have concludent data."... and half of his 'followers' are ready to tar and feather him about any misstep he will do...)
@Moon Maybe it's just me, but I would have had a lot more trust in the vaccines and in the process had the health authorities not approved them so easily. Just saying "we have stringent requirements" isn't convincing when you have points like the above article floating around that are not being addressed at all. If there is a reason why they can feel confident despite this, they need to have press conferences explaining themselves. Absent that, I'm forced to conclude this was just rubber stamped.
