One glaring example would be where CDC Director Rochelle Wolensky said: "Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials, but it's also in real-world data."[1]. That was never true. The science didn't change, this was a false statement when it was made. And it was amplified by everybody from the President of the United States[2] on down to people posting here.
These sorts of lies by people claiming to "trust the science" were then used to silence & censor people who challenged statements like this, and who challenged the idea that there was no potential long term harm despite all of the evidence showing young males in particular were more likely to develop myocarditis from the vaccine than from Covid.

This shouldn’t be the case. But now it’s going to be twice as hard to convince the fringes of anything coming from authority of anything.
