We didn't have a supply of masks so the public got lied to in order to lessen demand and allow a buildup for medical staff. Of course, the masters must lie to the public for the good of medical professionals.

Then, masks were mandated despite giving no protection for oneself. They only protect others if you are a walking asymptomatic viral load. Of course, the masters must lie to the public so that 'selfish' individuals don't pose a greater risk.

Same with fluoride,lithium, and many things that affect a population over the individual: telling the truth would harm the public, so 'they' have to lie to the public.
