One theory is that governments acted maliciously and lied. The other theory is that they were being advised by bad science (the 5 micron boundary).

In both cases, they are guilty of speaking. If they were benevolent, but wrong in terms of science, then they should shut up.

“But it was impossible to predict!” that the mask was useful. Well, Pr Raoult did. Many doctors did. Government can’t claim innocence “by being wrongly advised” after implementing nationwide policies without knowing anything correct AND banning criticism on Facebook.

You can’t claim innocence when you perform wilful censorship.
