The problem I saw was a bunch of people talking down to people, belittling them all while yelling that everything they said was instantly science. If you’re going to do that, you better be right close to 100% of the time. I learned that straight out of college by dealing with workers with no engineering background. I can’t understand how someone can make it to the top of a public health authority and not understand that.
All they had to do was say things like “we believe at this time,” “this is the best info available,” “we’re hoping for” and stuff like that. Once someone is screamed at and told something is science, that person isn’t going to forget it when the science changes.
