First response seems to be highlighting credentials and authority to win the point. Second response focused on facts that support his point. One tragedy was that public health authorities focused only on one statistic: covid death count (seemingly with a fungible definition of a covid death). Another tragedy was public health officials purposefully suppressing open debate on social media, which resulted in less trust.
Another is, they didn't do RCTs (randomized controlled trials) to test effects of different policies. They could've had different policies for nearby communities to see if, for example, N95 mask mandates make a difference or not, similar to the Bangladesh study (but better). But no one did that. Instead, the CDC kept publishing studies in their own journal with completely ridiculous methodological designs and then yelling every week that masks work.
