I doubt our hindsight will be perfect. 9/11 happened in broad daylight at 9 in the morning, in two major cities, yet it is almost impossible to suss out what actually happened that day based on the current, publicly available data. SARS-CoV 2 is probably going to get filed away into the "suspicious mystery" drawer, right next to JFK, Jimmy Hoffa, DB Cooper, MH370 et al.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoThere's a lot of political effort, it seems, going in to ensuring the truth is hidden from the demos. In part this can be considered necessary - some people need lying to in order to keep them compliant and save lives, but largely is about covering up errors of judgement, and decisions that have purposefully been made against population-health advice. That effect is reduced over time, but doesn't d disappear entirely; if a politician -- or political appointee -- is in charge of the output of a scientific advisory group then their filtering will likely obscure content forever.
