The national association of public health officials is holding its convention this week in Minneapolis and apparently a big topic is how to regain public trust. At least there is a recognition that they don’t have it. But as far as I can tell, still complete obliviousness as to why. Maybe it was because you constantly lied to people about matters you had no research support for. Maybe it was because you ran a terror campaign that disrupted schools, businesses, people’s social lives, our financial security. In any event the House committee on government oversight released a report on an important part of the federal response. (CV-19 Report)
The report focuses specifically on the campaign to promote vaccines. The administration spent over $900 million dollars with a PR firm, owned of course by Dem donors, and spent the money in a manner that violated federal procurement rules. The effort led by this firm and promoted by senior administration officials–Trump’s for a while, but mostly Bidementia’s–was part of a wider campaign of misinformation, badgering, guilting and shaming, and terrorizing the population. Although supposedly limited to vaccines, the firm also created messages promoting masking, social distancing, etc. None of this, none of it, was based on any data or research, it was just “experts” pontificating.
While the authors of the report have their own biases, it is still a valuable resource for understanding how determined the federal government was to manipulate the public in the interest of supporting certain measures that had no evidentiary basis. As I frequently say, you would like to believe we learned something, but my guess is the experts will do exactly the same thing all over again.

More like they constantly lied to people about matters they had PLENTY of research for, and textbooks, and common sense.
But please, don’t go on about experts, even “experts” in quotes. The problem was accepting people who had no credentials at all, like Fauci, in fact he had the worst credentials of anyone on Earth.
In olden days (before Y2K) the normal functioning of the press would have eviscerated Fauci, but the MSM having collapsed and died sometime early in this millennia, anyone who stood up could be taken as an “expert”, and that’s the *listeners* fault as much as anything.
After all the lies and b.s. I witnessed during that fiasco, I’d sooner go to a witch-doctor than one of the pharmaceutical salespersons., a.k.a. “doctors.”
