Yes, elites steering government [social]-media gave us a robust but noisy covid response; unfortunately elites cannot be made to respect prices and so we took many wrong+costly actions. In the future, their advice should be made voluntary only for this reason.

This is a great point.Some of these people are wrong over and over again without losing status. For example anyone who said the Iraq war would lead to a Democracy in the middle east with little pain, should not be listened to at all. Yet Purdue Pharma is being punished even as more and more evidence shows that the opioid crisis is/was not due to people being prescribed opiods for real pain.
