It's been a big problem throughout COVID, starting with "noble lies" in March 2020 about not wearing masks. The media & public health officials oversimplify, spin, or try to affect a desired outcome rather than just giving people honest info. And it backfires, almost every time. — PolitiTweet.org

Well, yeah, but I'm also interested in public opinion. And I'm interested in the media. And I think it's interesting that trying to suppress discussion of a theory that was always highly plausible under the guise of "misinformation" didn't work. The public saw through it. — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 Where Covid came from is a scientific issue not a rhetorical debate… or a popularity contest. Good. Grief.

@RossBarkan I think that's more forgivable than others. Initial studies suggested high effectiveness vs. even mild infection. Protection wasn't as durable as hoped, especially vs. variants, and some scientists had predicted as much, but this *was* a case where the evidence was evolving IMO. — PolitiTweet.org
