A major reason faith and trust was lost in the COVID pronouncements of media and public health experts was how brazenly they politicized their directives.
Quibble with some of the examples in this great thread but the message was clear: protests were allowed only if liberal. t.co/iphHVmW2VE

(And, to be clear, I've never been anti-mask. I've always worn masks outside the house and still do because that's the law in Brazil, where vaccines still aren't available to all adults. But CDC guidance is important because it fosters a return to normal life: vital for health).

It happened over & over. Any gatherings outside for any reason other than liberal political activities were scorned as homicidal and immoral. All other packed gatherings – BLM street protests, post-election Biden street parties, etc. – were glorified. Of course people lost trust. pic.twitter.com/SnwMZAnaUq
