reason. There was no medical precedent for what you did, yet Fauci et all claimed that they had studies to support their restrictions of freedoms - particularly that the vaccine supposedly prevented spread of COVID which he used to force people to get a vaccine that they didn't trust.
Because of this, we can't convince people to get vaccines in general. The damage to public trust may well have been permanent.
I was on this board telling you all what was going on and giving you research articles, etc., but you all chose The CNN School of Medicine instead. We also had politically motivated posters posting false data, selective data, misrepresented data and incorrect interpretations.
I's also like to further discuss your claim that this was on Trump when he was in office.
The initial power was entirely in the hands of the governors....who followed Fauci....who followed Dem leaders, not Trump. His about face on masks from his interview on 60 minutes where he told the real truth to the stance he adopted after meeting with Dem leaders was shocking (I've linked this interview many times).
Shifts on such basic and well known epidemiological medical science simply do not happen like that overnight....esp without any groundbreaking studies.
The fault of this COVID debacle fell squarely on the Left and was proven when they would not let us out of Lockdown for far too long....and then only because of Rick DeSantis and Florida leading the way.
You cannot act like we "didn't know" what to do with this novel situation. We have handled pandemics well before this. The reason we got into such trouble is because WE DIDN'T follow our well established protocols.
Now, you can put back on on your homemade, reused mask if you like, but there was never EVER and justification for it....and I told you back then.
