Just to reply to one point of your post, up until potentially May 2020 I don’t think the transmission medium of COVID was widely understood. I was in NYC through the first couple waves and in the beginning, we were arguing over droplet size and transmissibility. People were wiping everything down to avoid contagion. There was no real respiratory concern outside of being right up in someone’s face. I honestly don’t think anybody knew, let alone a conspiracy, to convey bad information to the public. They just flat out didn’t know. It wasn’t until further experimentation over the summer of 2020 that the primary means of transmission is through very fine respiratory action.
