Exactly, its plain as day. It is amazing to me how many noble lies have been told in the Pandemic. Even more amazing is that the people lying cannot see a direct line from the lying to the complete loss of faith in the institutions thy represent.
Everyone I personally know who is skeptical about institutional guidance advocating the vaccine or protective measures like mask mandates and lockdowns can cite a litany of previous lies or half truths by the same institutions. They did not start as medical institution skeptics — the last 18 months turned them into skeptics.
