Those are ridiculously high numbers that are completely unbelievable. I see the trick they are attempting.
Covid lies damaged trust in public HEALTH and here they are polling 'trust in SCIENTISTS', poll trust in public health and you're going to get far different numbers.
How to rebuild trust:
1. Acknowledge you screwed up big time. Apologize sincerely.
Literally nobody from public health has done step 1 yet.
2. Root cause analysis of how all these lies, deceptions, and manipulations came to be.
3. Make those reports public and take the beating in the media.
4. Create an action plan to prevent these abuses from happening in the future. This has to be done with the people whose voices were censored.
5. Start obeying international law and arrest all people who violated these laws.
That's right... significant arrests are absolutely necessary to rebuild trust. If you dont do this, not only are you refusing accountability you're encouraging exactly the same behaviours to repeat.
- techfeathers 2y agosignificant arrests? What laws were broken?
- incomingpain 2y agoCanada is a signatory for ICESCR, UNESCO bio ethics, nuremburg code, rome statutes, and the 2005 IHR. EACH of which are individually good enough for arrests and obviously these criminals would accept the plea deals for their crimes. The harms done are certainly far exceeding the thresholds to bring international legal mechanisms into play; but we need not go there. If Public health wants to restore trust, as they absolutely must and should be their highest priority by a huge margin. There needs to be significant arrests. 99.99% this wont happen and public health will never restore their trust.
- consteval 2y agoOkay how did they do this? By requiring masks and social distancing, which both work btw? Not that it matters much - even if they didn't work, I don't see how you can argue that's breaking the nuremburg code or whatever.
