When facing the "All we need is STEM!" approach to education, my usual response is:
Developing the vaccine was the STEM problem; distribution & getting shots in arms was the Social Science problem; getting people to trust it & combatting misinformation was the Humanities problem -- which did we fail?
@adapalmer A scary aspect of your example is that medicine (at least in my experience) tends to do a better job of incorporating people from non-STEM backgrounds than many other fields.
For example, I have difficulty believing that many tech companies even have in-house policy analysts, given the frequent comedies they release when anyone mentions regulation. Comedy to me, at least, even if they're trying to be serious.
