I believe it's because they feel if they take a position that is too radical or too confusing, it will blow their credibility to the public on the primary issues they are moving forward (especially since the degree to which COVID exists is an extremely nuanced subject).

If you want to be effective in politics and changing public opinion, you always have to do that.

Doesn't work.

Much of the public is way ahead of these so-called "Covid oppositional celebrities."

Lies of omission is bad policy. As a political tactic it has a history of failure.

The line you used is just a poor rationalization. This is usually used to provide a justification for continuing to please donors.

Further it is an insult to those in the trenches who have had their loved ones killed by medical murder- "shhh- can't talk about the public isn't ready."

Disgraceful.

True. Even someone with the stature and credibility of the famous Dorothy Thompson can get thrown under the bus for standing up for the truth.

She shared a lot of the fate of many whistleblowers and truth tellers and her story is worth a read even if it is only the WIki entry. All of these things tie together in very important ways.
