The amount of gaslighting, propaganda, changing narrative during this pandemic was honestly shocking. Trump was bad but it’s amazing to watch how suddenly things can be reversed. Which, is not an issue by itself, you adapt as you get more information, but claiming a position as absolute then changing after a month is. Not to mention all the political flaming and disinformation as propaganda for your “side”.

The media and many members of the scientific community, wrapped in their "Trump is evil" orthodoxy, denounced everything that came out of his mouth, including the occasional truth.

Their reputation now irreparably damaged.

Vox called COVID overblown and then stealth edited those articles, only marking them as edited after being called out for it.

New York Times has called lab leak theory "racist", repeatedly, including by their chief COVID reporter as recently as two weeks ago(!!!).

Dr Fauci knowingly lied about the efficacy of masks, then railed against border closures from COVID embattled China, then knowingly lied about US funding of gain-of-function research to Congress.

WHO has spent the last 18 months running crisis management for the Chinese Government ("no sign of person-to-person transmission" in late January), which has spent the same amount of time destroying evidence and covering up as much as possible.

Facebook and Google until months ago was censoring lab leak theory left and right.

Public and news media institutions collectively have revealed their complacency, political bias and ineptitude.
