Covid news coverage needs to start from this fact: 'The vaccines work'

Let's start with the good news: Vaccination rates in the US are ticking back up. Sunday marked the fifth straight day of the CDC recording more than 700,000 shots in arms across the country. Now to the bad news, and there's a lot of it. 'The Biden administration's handling of the Delta surge has left Americans confused and frustrated, fueling media overreaction and political manipulation,' as Mike Allen and Caitlin Owens wrote for Axios. Comms failures by the CDC and other agencies have been at the root of the problem. News outlets' sensational headlines and faulty frames have compounded the problem.
