@luckytran It would be really nice if they followed the science and not their political fortunes. It's like telling people masks didn't work so they could ensure they were available for HCW.

Tell us the truth. A lot of us would have appreciated that and not used medical masks so that HCW could have a supply, but when the truth comes out afterwards it makes it that much easier for the denialists to say, "See? They were lying."

It doesn't matter what they lied about or why, what matters is the loss of trust. Same goes with refusing to acknowledge Long Covid for so long.

It's frustrating.
