That wearing a mask and getting vaccinated was good advice?
That the internet is full of malicious people trying to discredit experts giving sensible advice just for their own profit and fame?
Maybe I'm remembering the pandemic differently than the author.

The first time I came across this basic thesis was back in maybe 2000ish? Or a few years later. There was a great article about an author who was whiteboarding out a solution, and the architect wrote this phrase, "Configuration data will be stored in XML" (the title of the article).

Their company was involved more in the supply and distribution of COVID vaccines, based on data collection of COVID metrics. The experts he may be referring to are the ones who were painting an inaccurate representation of COVID case distribution. Political messaging shadowed the reality of case distributions by region—inaccurate reporting of COVID cases due to a lack of pipeline and procedures for data collection. In this scenario, the "experts" would be individuals ignoring the reality of the data collected and making decisions based on other motivations.
