We're nine months into this, and the WHO guidance on masks has errors (they have refused to correct), it took months of pushing and into October for them to finally add some ventilation advice to the public, the CDC was pushed, too and "false sense of security" refuses to die.

It's true! Epistemic trespassing can be terribly dangerous—especially paired with overconfidence or ideology. But the expert community should realize what's opening the floodgates is partly their failure. We *want to* trust the experts Fix that, instead of circling the wagons.

I do think masks are proving to provide a false sense of security on a societal/zeitgeist level that has downsides. (However, I do weigh those downsides against the counterfactual and it nets out in favor of masks. Was anti-mask for 2 months but adjusted as the math did.)

Point being: think there’s a lot of layers and nuances and uncertainty and so we should cut some slack on bad predictions, but yes think experts aren’t always netting out ahead
