This story has an emphasis on Austrailian politicians, but I'm sure you could apply it elsewhere. The weaponisation of conspiracy against truth | The Spectator Australia
Remember when Prime Minister Scott Morrison complained that Australian victims of the Covid vaccine were being silenced to protect pharmaceutical companies? No. Neither do I.
For two years, the Big Tech oligarchy protected Covid policy, health bureaucrats, politicians, and Big Pharma while taking millions in advertising dollars, both public and private. Then came Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter – the loudest of all social media platforms – and within two months the Covid narrative collapsed. Victims were speaking and being heard. Hard evidence of harm was being published. TV presenters were able to report on documented cases. Experts were going on the record. It was a disaster for ‘public trust’ in government advice.
This article starts with a discussion of the difference between credibility and truth. In a trial, jurors have to use the credibility of a witness to gauge the truthfulness of a statement. Politicians get judged by the population in the same way. Do you believe what the government says?
For my take on the situation, see the George Carlin quote in the image. I don't believe anything the government says at this point.
