I dont think you are engaging in good faith.

Information being available online does not help the issue of lack of trust in public health officials, and the sentiment that they are lying or playing hide the ball.

This sentiment is a real issue the nation is facing.

The pandemic had several high-profile examples of Public Health officials knowingly misleading and lying to the public. That's going to take a lot of work to undo

Not really. It had several high-profile examples of public health officials making mostly-reasonably hedged statements under conditions of uncertainty, and then people actually playing game-of-telephone into thinking they said things they didn't say.

Can you provide a few of these "several" examples of public health officials knowingly making false statements?
