The public health institutions in the USA have really failed us. Covid was more of a public health blunder than a medical one. Not having a cohesive strategy, conflicting and often political messaging around gatherings, and worst of all lying to people repeatedly bc they couldn’t “handle” the truth is insane. On top of that there was and still are plenty of plans for locking down etc that have no actual metrics around them. They’re literally just feeling based. At least the medical companies came up with a good enough vaccine to get us out of this mess. It really feels like the public health officials and politicians to some extent view the public with contempt.
