Why COVID-19 gaslighting by politicians is so dangerous for democracy

May 4, 2022

theconversation.com/why-covid-19-g…

“After 2 yrs of acknowledging the dangers of #COVID19, something eerily similar has happened with public health policy across the western world.”

“Fed & muni govts in NA, Eur & Aus have begun lifting basic protections like 💉 & #maskmandate, winding down public testing, ending contact tracing & withholding critical PH data, like case counts, hospitalization numbers, wastewater results & even the size of local outbreaks.”

“Pandemic management has been transformed from a PH problem to an individual one.”
