The problem is the Science has been turned Political. The WHO, the CDC, and "experts" like Dr Fauci have all taken a political lean with their science and reporting.
We can say the same about the Science behind Climate Change. The scientists that produce studies that advance the narrative receive grants to continue their work while those that produce studies that contradict the Leftist agenda are buried and told to go to the back of the funding line.
What is really infuriating is that the "experts" are allowed to pivot and grow as new information about the pandemic is learned, sometimes on a daily basis yet the same that allow flexibility with the scientists will say that Trump murdered 600,000 people. It is crazy.
Do you not have a search engine? Local and state health officials are considered “health experts” by the communities they serve.

At long last, according to county health officials, Dallas County has obtained herd immunity to the COVID-19 virus. But what does reaching that goal mean?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, herd immunity, or community immunity, is "a situation in which a sufficient proportion of a population is immune to an infectious disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness) to make its spread from person to person unlikely." When herd immunity is present, unvaccinated people (such as newborns and those with chronic illnesses) are offered some protection because the disease has little opportunity to spread within the community.
This is the story the people of this nation were told over and over and over. Get to 70 (then 80)% vaccinated you’ll have herd immunity. When the cases started increasing you remember, the highly offensive and inflammatory “plague of the unvaccinated” - by the CDC nonetheless - to explain why that herd immunity was no longer working.
They still aren’t mentioning that a large number of unvaccinated people carrying a more virulent variant were input to the community. I keep waiting for that to finally come out.

Oh, for God’s sake. Have you not watched the news, surfed the Internet, or even read any of the various links people have posted here for the past 18 months to 2 years? If you can’t find “proof” of some scientist declaring something about the virus as fact that we now know was not true you are just choosing to be obtuse.
It's the Bagdad Bob Syndrome... a advanced case of gross obtuseness.
I don't really blame them for certain aspects of their wrongness because they are just kind of learning as they go. This "pandemic" is really just a big science experiment that is still ongoing.
Yes and they should be honest and publicly say that. No one has any business being arrogant or self righteous about this virus and we've seen a lot of that.
Because it's not science. It's the democrats making the virus political.
