A comment on Germany locks down unvaccinated people, as leaders plan to make shots compulsory. Parent comment
No, it's a fact. I understand why they were lying about things, e.g. the usefulness of masks, but that doesn't make it less dishonest or patronizing.
You simply can't say one thing today, the opposite tomorrow and still expect people to just believe you the day after that.
And please don't buy into that "it's all new to us" narrative. Not knowing how to handle things is not a license to just make stuff up.
And if you still think you have to, at least remain consistent about it.
And if you can't do that either, at least don't complain when people don't trust you, anymore.
And if you have to complain about people not trusting you, anymore, at least don't blame them for the consequences OF YOUR OWN CLUSTERFUCK.
