Back in July of 2020, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he was banning all large gatherings in New York City except for Black Lives Matter protests. The month before, NPR featured a letter signed by dozens of health and public disease experts explaining that “white supremacy is a lethal public health issue” that needed to be dealt with as well as the coronavirus. Glenn Greenwald points to that nonsensical twist in lockdown history as the moment that “single-handedly destroyed trust in public health officials.”Oh yes, there's more.
"What the hell? You ordered everyone to stay home but you're at this big protest?"
"Protesting white supremacy is more important than the virus!"
"So I can't go to to work, or church, and my kids can't go to school, but you can do this, you crooked bastard?"
"RACIST! Go home and stay there like you're told!" Etc.
And they wonder why people don't trust or believe them.
