> They made it clear after the fact that this was done because there wasn't an adequate supply of masks for 330M people, and they needed to secure a supply for first responders. The job of the government is to make tough decisions like this in times of crisis
Tough decisions? Yes, lies - with a straight face? No. Now what? How can you do public health without public trust?* How can you govern effectively when the record showed you lied?
The irony? I still see people wearing masks; the kind of mask that are proven to be ineffective.
* On top of it we were assured these people were "the experts." However, this wasn't our first respiratory pandemic. Yet we were completely unprepared? What is their area of expertise? Lies?
Publib health and government based on lies isn't sustainable. Yet anyone who questioned that was marginalized? It get worse and worse.
