Crucial to a functional, cohesive society is trust in our public health officials to provide honest scientific information. Opposition to the establishment will likely always exist at the fringes, but general trust among the public must be maintained. However, the latter has collapsed over the course of the pandemic as the most powerful and influential voices in the Covid discourse have advanced claims driven by an unsettling form of dogmatic devotion to the medical establishment. They appear to have abandoned the scientific method.
One of the first signs that health authorities were compromised by clear political motives was during last year’s BLM protests when 1,300 public health officials signed a letter claiming “White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19.” Despite pushing for draconian lockdown measures for months, public health experts asserted, “we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national public health.”
