Back in March we were told masks didn't work because there was a shortage and it was "the right thing to do" to say they didn't work. We were also told by high scientific institutions that closing borders was a bad idea.

Probably many people wonder now if the vaccine really is safe, or if it's just "the right thing to do" at the population level to get a lot of people vaccinated even if it's not safe. Hard to regain trust after dropping the ball so hard too many times.

While I remember the point about recommendations to not wear masks early on, I do not recall any recommendations on not closing borders. Do you have a citation for this? I'm curious which institutions and departments were on that boat.
