Nothing in medicine has had a 'scientific basis' since the Bradford Hill criteria were pushed as part of a PR campaign to sell benzos. Of course, the facade was the ban of cigarettes.
Nicotine is a natural anxiety suppressant used in traditional medicine for thousands of years... but of course you can't have that when we have highly overpriced synthetic chemical which has a lot of side effects (and hence is much better for business) needed a PR campaign.
I struggle so hard to follow anything about COVID. I basically just lived my everyday life, and wore masks and got vaccinated when it was required in my life. Is there a good reading (or someone want to provide an explanation) that's a true neutral look at who was lying and who wasn't about COVID and the protocols that followed?
The way COVID responses developed augers very poorly for future emergencies. We responded to worst case scenarios with a chainsaw when a scalpel was more appropriate. This was heavily influenced by conjecture on social media. See the SVB bank run as another example of panic on social media being a virus itself.
