Public officials made a bunch of errors and could have communicated better.
But if the bar is that public officials must communicate flawlessly during an emergency situation and have it so all of their recommendations end up being the correct ones once we have complete information then there's no possible hope. People point at the changing guidance as evidence of a conspiracy when public health officials were learning new things every day.
- renewiltord 1y agoThings changing is fine. Intentionally deceiving is not fine. Would you want your doctor telling you that some surgery doesn’t work because he needs the operating room for someone else?
- UncleMeat 1y agoThings changing is obviously not fine given the huge amount of complaints people have made about changing public health advice during covid that was motivated entirely by new research.
- renewiltord 1y agoThe huge amount of complaints was because the changing health advice was being provided by the exact same people who were doing the lying. If they lie about some things and change their minds about other things, it makes them untrustworthy about all things and the times they changed their mind is not obviously in good faith.
- UncleMeat 1y agoNope. This is very well documented.
- renewiltord 1y agoDocumented by the liars indeed.
- UncleMeat 1y agoNo. Documented by the critics. You can read it in their books. You can read it in their posts. The criticism does not flow from what you describe above.
