It was communicated just fine. I got that info. You got that info. It was out there. But the signal to noise ratio was unreal.

VACCINE GOOD!
GRANDPA HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL DIE!
VACCINE STILL GOOD!
I HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL GET SICK AND BOSS MAKE ME STAY HOME AND NO GET MONEY! VACCINE BAD!

VACCINE BAD!
COVID OVER, NO NEED VACCINE!
HOORAY!
