Has anyone turned up contemporaneous evidence of conscious deception on masks from last year? I keep seeing this idea that public health “didn‘t trust us with the truth” but they actually cited papers against masks. Later they said it was a strategy. Where’s the evidence it was?
in 2003 they decided masks were an east asian superstition like fan death and they didn't look back until people pointed out how flimsy the rationale was on an intuitive level
