You expected the major health authorities to be misinforming us at this scale? I sure had not.

Then why don’t you point out where I said nobody knew about misinformation from authorities in some abstract sense versus people are still not realizing the scale and scope of misinformation from authorities in this case.

this is a counterproductive argument, we're talking past each other. i was also thinking of the older thread ab media misinformation. no one that I've seen write on social media misinfo has diminished presence/prevalence of institutional or media failings. it's an ecosystem.pic.twitter.com/iKYanUmOUF

As I said, if you expected major health authorities would be major sources of misinformation on key issues during a deadly pandemic, and if you believe that this is fairly common knowledge, all I can say is that I did not and I don't think people have grappled with this at all.

I'm not trying to be adversarial. I genuinely did not expect what happened in scale or scope. I truly did not. I don't think people have come to term with it. I think we disagree on both.

i'm not either. this question of how to do you surface authoritative information related to health, while not censoring, and while not silencing new information that medical authorities had not yet signed off on, had come up in the context of smaller outbreaks.

I don't disagree! I am genuinely in I did not expect this territory here. I really am. I did not expect it to be this bad, this widespread and this consequential from these institutions. Others I already had no expectations from. Not this.
