Zeynep Tufekci does a poor job describing the early covid information environment. It's true that govt. officials/scientists were wrong on some big issues, did not own up quickly enough, etc. This seems to be her main complaint.

But it's bizarre to describe that as "destroying" public trust when there was a massive (& ongoing) RW effort (including on many days, the president!) to distort/exploit those mistakes and spread covid misinformation.
