I wonder what the lessons are re the vast amount of disinformation that affected so many people online. How might we prevent it next time?
Also, for the UK, how do we deal with misinfo from leaders who are self-serving buffoons with no concept of public health.
Don't lie
Don't keep changing with the message every 18 days
Don't let people who don't know anything wing it
Public health officials refuse to carry water for dipshit politicians
