There is a documentary called "Everything under control". In it they explained why this happened.
Basically they were scared that the public were going to buy out the masks that were needed by medical staff.
> Ivermectin
Same documentary, this was started by Musk. It does nothing and is dangerous.
- mannanj 9mo agoThanks. Do you mean the Totally Under Control documentary from 2020? One question, have you ever considered the opposite of what you're saying to be true, or looked for the evidence for that? Saying because I've heard of and looked at both opinions you've expressed in your comment and heard and seen evidence for them to be true. I also did the opposite. And looking at the opposite seemed more true objectively and with the emotions and popular biases like authority bias and other harmful ones removed. "If you can't see anything wrong with the side you agree with, and you can't see anything right with the side you disagree with, you've been manipulated." Very wise quote.

Yea sorry I was recalling from memory. > One question, have you ever considered the opposite of what you're saying to be true, or looked for the evidence for that? I look at what the scientists who have spent years in that field are saying and is peer reviewed. You go searching on the internet for the answer you expect, you will find it. > authority bias Authority bias is where an expert in field X claims to have knowledge in field Y when they don't.
- mannanj 9mo agoAbsolutely not. Looks like your memory is playing tricks on you again. | Authority Bias: The cognitive tendency to overvalue the opinion of an authority figure or expert lets not make up definitions for your own convenience.
- EagnaIonat 9mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authority_bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authority_bias Authority bias is the cognitive bias where we give disproportionate weight to the opinion of someone perceived as an authority figure, even outside their domain of expertise. What a lot of people outside the scientific field fail to realise that when a claim is made by an expert in their field, it is peer reviewed and challenged or accepted. The whole point of science is that you can challenge wrong ideas and change your perspective. Like I said though. If you are just going to the internet to find something that aligns with what you believe, that isn't peer review.
- mannanj 9mo ago> Authority bias is where an expert in field X claims to have knowledge in field Y when they don't. Did you not share this above? This contradicts to me your definition here, which is just copying what I shared and stating it as thought its now your opinion. Comes off like gaslighting by the way.
