This works with toddlers, but not with adults. Suppressing information ultimately leads to less trust, more hesitancy and more conspiracy theories (they were hiding X, what else are they hiding?). It'd be better if they would just be be transparent and upfront from the start.
- JPKab 5y agoI agree, but I understand why they are doing this. I think it's a counterproductive strategy, and dislike it. But I'm too tired of being pissed at this point to say much more on it. People in the US, at least, just don't seem to trust others to make good decisions, and this particularly goes for elite academics who dominate public health organizations and government. They treat us like toddlers because, in their minds, compared to them, we are.
