And assumes there is also a position of neutrality, free from political bias. Yes, the memorial indoors, with some in attendance not wearing masks wasn't great. But we've also had weeks of the President modeling bad behavior and policies and how we're all arguing about not-that.
I totally agree! But that's just something to take into account and try harder. Not fair, but here we are. I work on misinformation and wrote my first big Facebook isn't great for electoral politics piece in.. 2012. With Obama as example. Huge huge push-back. 2016, suddenly okay.

Public health did some, but I think could and should have tried harder to stem the tide of scolding that was on media and social media, and try to replace it with harm-reduction. Some tried (and love your work on it!). But the field as a whole didn't breakthrough on that part.

I know some people tried. But I think there was more to do. An open letter asking the scolding/shaming to stop with hundreds of signatures? Showing up en mass in replies of viral scolding tweets, or quoting them and stop? It's not a fair burden perhaps, but that's the reality.
