Ha! Ha! Great find Pete ...
Love the pic!
I've been using that or similar pix for quite a while. I just DDG-searched "moving the goalposts" and selected Images. Like I posted in my comment, message-changing last spring reflected how little was known and how fast we were learning. The "experts" stupidly and pridefully refused to admit they were low on the learning curve, creating distrust when messaging changed with learning.
Now, however, Covid goalposts are moving to support government power and public panic. One current government message is, "Get vaccinated to return to normalcy." Another, concurrent, government message is, "Eeeeek!
Bogey-Variant-of-the-Month is scary! We're all going to die! Everyone mask-up, including the vaccinated!" Contradictory messaging like that feeds distrust and resentment - people know they are getting fed horse manure. The messaging also feeds vaccine hesitancy and skepticism, because people don't know whether the vaccines are effective, as one message claims, or whether vaccines are ineffective, which the other message clearly means.
The problem with current goalpost moves is that information - e.g. how the vaccines work, vaccine test phase start dates, results for each vaccine's test phases, daily new cases and daily deaths, vaccination rates for the US and every state, that the vaccines used in the US are effective against the
bogey-variants - is readily available for people to find. The more people find and think about, for example, the daily new cases and daily deaths data for the US, the more they realize that the government's and their MSM shills'
Panic Porn is false and dishonest.
Many DUpipo
maintain their Covid Ignorance, because so much of Covid news and facts have contradicted what their politics need to be true. Facts that contradict their ideology they denigrate as "Reich-Wing" and ignore.
