Exactly right - there is a rational honest truth in there somewhere.
But, our governement masters, including evil people like Fauci, are literally incapable of telling the truth. Anytime they say something, they twist it to advance their own personal ambition.
The truth is not in them.
The reliance on mandates and things like CDC’s PSA’s that work off base emotion on about a 3rd grade level, both as opposed to real education, certainly has not helped.
And on the other side we have people advocating literally impossible conspiracy theories with enough “tin foil” for the next ten million years of BBQ ribs.
The Chinese are surely laughing their asses off at us.
