In my book Crisis and Chaos, I talk about Colin Powell’s 40/ 70 rule. If you make decisions before having at least 40% of the information you’re likely to be wrong and if you wait until having more than 70%, you’ll likely be irrelevant. Time and again CDC has been irrelevant. 😞

This was wrenching to write.

Many U.S. journalists and media orgs took up the cause for accountability & press freedom after Jamal Khashoggi's murder by Saudi agents.

They are now quiet as bodies of Palestinian journalists killed by Israel pile up.

From a messaging and credibility POV, it's baffles me that CDC steadfastly refuses to update (or abandon) the term, 'fully vaccinated.β€πŸ€―

If we truly value the importance of receiving the updated vaccine, shouldn't we ensure accurate communication, vs misleading the public? πŸ€”
