A series of assessments by recognized scholars has shown that public health professionals during the Covid-19 outbreak were often inaccurate.
But to be clear, they were not in the wrong when they made suggestions based on the information they had at the time.
They were inaccurate because they stubbornly stuck to their original orders despite new information. They ignored facts that contradicted their policy and silenced critics.
To give you an idea, here are some ways in which they misled us, according to the New York Post:
'Natural immunity is weaker than vaccine immunity'
An investigation examined 65 key studies on natural immunity from 19 nations. Natural immunity outperformed the core Covid vaccination series, according to the researchers.
Notwithstanding Facebook's "misinformation" policy, 160 research provided scientific facts.
The majority of Americans sacked for not getting the Covid vaccination already had antibodies that neutralized the virus, but the government did not recognize them.
'Masks stop Covid transmission'
Medical evidence is assessed through Cochrane Reviews. A reputable Oxford study team concluded that masks had no meaningful effect on Covid transmission last month.
Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dr. Rochelle Walensky, dismissed this comprehensive analysis as faulty since it relied on randomized and controlled experiments.
'School suspensions diminish Covid spread'
The CDC disregarded the practice of keeping schools open throughout Europe, where most countries did not require students to wear masks. Studies were done in Spain and Sweden showed no difference in transmission rates.
'Vaccine-induced myocarditis is rarer than infection-induced'
Vaccine-induced myocarditis, or heart muscle inflammation, was minimized by public health experts. They referenced research that underestimated complications, while several well-designed studies disagreed.
Myocarditis is six to 28 times more likely in 16- to 24-year-old boys after the Covid vaccination than without infection. Tens of thousands of healthy youngsters received a Covid vaccination that caused myocarditis, usually subclinical.
'Vaccine boosters help kids'
In elderly, high-risk People, boosters decreased hospitalization. They never reduced Covid mortality in young, healthy adults, though.
The CDC presumably did not report hospitalization rates for boosted Americans under 50, but they did for those over 50.
'Vaccine demands higher vaccination rates'
Unvaccinated personnel, regardless of danger or immunity, were sacked by President Biden and others. They sought dishonorable dismissal for troops and layoffs for nurses during a staffing shortage. The requirement was based on the mistaken belief that immunization prevented transmission.
With a widespread understanding that vaccination did not prevent transmission, the requirements continued and still do.
George Mason University found that vaccine requirements in nine major US cities did not increase immunization rates. They did not affect Covid transmission rates, too.
'One in five persons had prolonged Covid'
According to the CDC, 20% of COVID-19 infections may lead to long-term illness. Meanwhile, one UK research revealed just 3% of Covid patients experienced 12-week residual symptoms. So, why is there such a big difference?
After being ill and inactive for weeks, minor weariness or weakness is common. When these situations are referred to as "long Covid," it signifies the stigma of everyday life.
