Heck, we don't even need to go back too far in history - a lot of COVID-19 information was labeled "misinformation" before being proven correct/possibly true.
If anything, this shows the zombies that the people are. Anything TV says is truth. A stupid short report from an online magazine made some late show host make a short skit about it and boom, like wild fire. I call total bs on that whole thing. This entire COVID response has been political from DAY 1. Western countries response has not only been shameful, but absolutely reprehensibly.
