Also don't forget the medias reporting of covid:
Jan-Feb 2020 - Masks don't work! don't worry about covid, get a flu shot!
April 2020 - Covid lives on surfaces for 17 days, disinfect all surfaces, also all masks are effective against covid spread(even cloth ones!)
Early 2021 - Vaccines(pfizer, moderna) will stop symptomatic covid with +90% effectiveness, also you have to have a vaccine otherwise you will spread covid to others.
Late 2021 - Oops, cloth masks are not effective against covid(omicron), also vaccines for young children wear off in terms of effectiveness after a few weeks.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI'm not saying the media is blameless, but this seems like a lot of post-hoc thinking - you're treating the media like they should have known that omicron would exist and so they shouldn't have reported the effectiveness of the vaccines on earlier strains, or reported whatever was the current understood science of the time because things later changed when they didn't know that.
- antihipocrat 4y agoI suspect that if the implied interpretation of your observations was the majority view it would negatively affect the public's opinion of science and government agencies rather than the media.
