I think a lot of these problems come from an "elitist" mentality of some scientists and a lot media people. They believe that the "sheepeople" are too dumb to think through logical arguments and can only be motivated to action if you manipulate them through their emotions or that it's ok to deliberately use misleading or faulty arguments because they think its for the greater good. So instead of telling people that it is important to conserve N95 masks because there was a shortage and hospital workers are most at risk due to the nature of the environment. They say there is no evidence masks work... but please bring any masks you have to your local hospital we desperately need them...

Paul went through medical school... this isn't a question on this subject matter being too complicated for us to understand, it has to do with they are using "complexity" to obscure straight up lying for political ends.
