When it comes to Covid, most of the supposedly high-information policy world is still living two to three years behind the cutting-edge science and data. Covid censorship and propaganda (or CCP, no pun intended) was extraordinarily effective. We recently argued as much in The Wall Street Journal. CCP was surprisingly potent in the very communities which should have had the analytical tools to resist its charms and misdirections.

For some reason, regular people slowly figured things out. Yo, Canadian truckers! Examples keep rolling in, however, showing those most vulnerable to the infowarp were experts in public health and the wider public policy world.
