Next time they shouldn't lie nonstop about almost every single thing during a pandemic. Then you can expect people to follow you. People don't like to follow proven liars, whether they did it with "good intentions" is ultimately irrelevant. Someone with good intentions can also bring you to ruin.
1. They lied about masks, first it was irrelevant whether you wore one or not, then they changed their mind and suddenly masks were super important and you just have to wear one or else. The truth is that it probably helps a little because duh, you have some cloth in front of your breathing, it probably catches some particles but definitely not all all the time. Saying that scientific truth evolved is utter nonsense, experts definitely always knew particle size and mask efficiency. They just didn't care and didn't do their job figuring it out and telling people the real efficiency.
2. They lied constantly that vaccines are super safe and super effective, outright attempting to gaslight you that "nobody" dies to vaccines. Which is just a flat out lie. People absolutely died from vaccines and always have. Just stop lying about it.
3. The U.S president himself lied that you will not spread it anymore if you get vaccinated. All lies. And it was definitely already known at the time he said this, frankly it's common sense.
3. They lied about herd immunity which is basically impossible to achieve.
4. Deals with vaccine companies were kept secret, that doesn't exactly inspire much confidence to follow guidances when everyone knows how much money can corrupt.
5. They mounted a massive coercion campaign and constantly shamed everyone in the most pathetic ways possible with patronizing TV coverage. Colbert's little vaccine dance is historic at this point.
6. They strongly suppressed alternative points of view from other scientists and doctors. These were not flatearther tier people, they made good points and many were and are well respected people. And yet they were suppressed anyway.
And after all this you come here with a very generic comment about how disappointed you are that people didn't come together on a base truth. I'm disappointed that you seem to have no complaints and offer such a generic, apologist view of the past.
As a reminder to everyone: changing your mind the in the face of new evidence is not lying. Everyone changes their mind, all the time.
We have zero expectation that information on Tuberculosis in 1920 is accurate today. Some of it is, a lot of it isn't.
COVID was a new disease. That means, no matter what, we were going to change our mind a lot. It's honestly quite impressive we didn't change our minds more.
The original downvoted poster made several points, which at the time of reading all seem correct.
Covid vaccines have different risk based on sex and age. The blood clot risk of the AZ vaccine was similar to the ICU risk from Covid for under 40s.
The Moderna vaccine caused heart problems for young males.
Both of these issues were downplayed by politicians and officials, but the public health system eventually worked and AZ was discarded while young males were switched to Biontech.
With ideological purges done by the fake, ideological left, which is still in power in the western EU, it’s not clear that we won’t have nonsense policies in the future, such as dictating that BLM protests are fine during Covid while everyone else must stay indoors.
