One of the strongest arguments against allowing secretive bodies like the Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health Care to make guidance in back rooms, without transparency or scientific oversight, is the behaviour they exhibit when forced out into the open.

Health guidelines should be transparent. The Task Force’s aren’t
The Task Force oversimplifies the criticisms of its detractors.

I sincerely hope this means we start to prioritize safer air (hepas, ventilation) and hygiene (masking when sick, staying home when possible when sick). Also, more and more, on top of covid, it's looking like avian flu is mutating toward a pandemic. We could be prepared.
I've been slowly re-reading merchants of doubt & it's simply amazing how much the tobacco fiasco mirrors the COVID fiasco right down to the language used. "Alarmists" is a term that seems to be frequently applied to people speaking uncomfortable truths.
