Things changing is fine. Intentionally deceiving is not fine. Would you want your doctor telling you that some surgery doesn’t work because he needs the operating room for someone else?


Things changing is obviously not fine given the huge amount of complaints people have made about changing public health advice during covid that was motivated entirely by new research.


The huge amount of complaints was because the changing health advice was being provided by the exact same people who were doing the lying. If they lie about some things and change their minds about other things, it makes them untrustworthy about all things and the times they changed their mind is not obviously in good faith.


Nope. This is very well documented.


Documented by the liars indeed.


No. Documented by the critics. You can read it in their books. You can read it in their posts. The criticism does not flow from what you describe above.
