All (virtually all, it's not hyperbole) of the "misinformation" during covid turned out not to be that at all
There was no science behind social distancing, or masks, or the (so called, it's not an actual one) vaccine

These assertions are provably wrong. Regarding "social distancing" specifically:
There was adequate empirical evidence for the effect of
social distancing at the individual level, and for partial
or full lockdown at the community level. However, at the
level of social settings, the evidence was moderate for
school closure, and was limited for workplace/business
closures as single targeted interventions.[0]
As to the science behind "masks" and "vaccines", the former can be trivially shown to limit the distance of oral particulate expulsion and the latter has enough published medical research to make verifying vaccine efficacy a matter of accepting facts.> Edit: I would like to remind people that downvotes do not, and never will, make me wrong
It is not the downvotes which make you wrong.
Fauci himself was known to say that vaccine development takes at least 5-10 years or something like that (and never mind the fact we had Event 201, that the virus contains code BY MODERNA) or else all hell breaks loose (he was also known to say masks aren't effective)
What went poorly is our society's collective response. From the medical and governmental establishment, there was much hemming and hawing over what measures to take for way too long (masking, distancing, closing of public spaces, etc). Taking _any_ countermeasures against the spread of the virus also somehow became a culture war issue. I'm assuming GP meant "left or right" by "either side" so make of that what you will.
