we had people saying 'trust the science' ,etc etc when they weren't reading the science. and it was hard to keep up because it was changing every month.
"don't need a mask" "wear a mask" "don't wear a mask" "Wear a mask indoors by yourself" j/k
"you will die if you don't get the vaccine. if you get the vaccine you will never get covid. "
