How about the rampant false claims from various health officials and the WHO that masks didn't work in the very beginning of the pandemic. ...and this lie was intentional to protect mask stockpiles for healthcare workers.

How about the initial censorship of the outbreak on social media and news media, on the grounds that the "fear-mongering" about an outbreak in China was racist?

How about the labelling by the news media of the initial travel bans as racist?

How about health officials refusing to test anyone who hadn't personally travelled to China for months after the virus had been observed in the US.

Trust was destroyed in the first two months of this pandemic.
