How bad of a deal it is to sell your credibility should have been obvious since April 2020.

The lies about masks may have helped with shortages in the short term. The result is now that people rightfully distrust everything their governments say.

Seriously wtf. We're trying to combat disinformation and distrust in info from authorities on the subjects, and the CDC and Fauci comes out with that blatant "noble lie." I can't take these institutions seriously the same way again.
