Thank you both! Zvi—makes sense re short duration of increased interest and effective to capitalize on it while that lasts. Rob—the part I’m not seeing is the causal link between these posts and influencing/improving decisions made by the FDA and CDC.
I note that posts like marginal revolution and others on first doses first likely had a serious effect on causing that to happen. So I think it’s fair to think that the discussion around here is having real effects, even if it’s indirect and hard to pin down very explicitly.
