Before the war, some “experts” said Iraq had WMD, others said it wasn’t true. In fact CIA Director George Tenet warned the White House not to use sketchy intelligence about Iraqi purchases of uranium in Africa to bolster their argument to invade Iraq… the White House ignored him.
For Iraq, the White House cherry-picked which “experts” to listen to, because they wanted to invade.
As for COVID. 99% of virologists, epidemiologists, and other relevant experts agreed that COVID was a pandemic and that reducing the spread was critical for getting it under control.
Interesting comparison… but as usual not true.
