How badly has government lies about Covid (and others) damaged public trust?

Most of what people believe to be true re the past 18mths is harmful propaganda driven by constant fear-mongering media & politicians. Ppl then refuse to accept scientific facts b/c of cognitive dissonance. Stanford Prof, Dr Bhattacharya, explains this concept in this short video https://t.co/6Pnj9u2rhd

This top video is excellent. It reminds me of how they did the exact same thing for AIDS. They warped and lied to the Canadian public that the risk was equal to all across the board. The facts were of course that homosexual men and somewhat IV drug users were overwhelmingly more likely to get AIDS. They lied to create fear for political reasons and often contradicted themselves. For example, they initially set up a screening program for AIDS/HIV at the borders into Canada and then gay lobbies, which insisted it was not a gay disease, then said testing for AIDS was discriminating against homosexuals so they stopped it.

I bet this sort of lying has killed lots of people, and caused untold damage. At this point the entire prescription system should be examined. I do not see why people should have to get a doctor’s permission for life saving meds like Ivermectin, HCQ or even pain meds for adults. As I see the dirt and horror more and more in the medical system and government, Dr. Thomas Szasz makes more and more sense. Perhaps especially when it comes to drugs.
