This is not just misleading sensationalism; it’s literally incorrect as stated. “Effective” has a technical meaning w.r.t vaccines. The study assessed neutralization activity in vitro, not vaccine effectiveness in actual human beings. @NPRPolitics you *must* correct this headline https://t.co/qNplm1BR0y

Even from people/sites that aren’t anti-vax conspiracists, at least 80% of the headlines and stories I see about vaccine efficacy and even how vaccines work are completely wrong or highly misleading.
