No, the worst part is the propaganda which forced the medical community to hastily construct a counter-propaganda campaign.
The "trust the science" messaging emerged only in response to a tidal wave of nonsense.
Do you really think anyone involved wanted to focus on PR rather than the real problem(s) at hand?
- nradov 3y agoCome on. The medical community was never "forced" to do anything. A small minority of the medical community voluntarily abused their positions of trust to overstate the strength of scientific evidence and advocate for public health policies that were never justified on an evidence-based medicine basis. Those miscreants sacrificed their own credibility for no benefit, and what's worse is they caused public blowback in other areas.
