The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
The best comparison could be the way the American people felt threatened by fear. During the Red Scare years, by the spread and presence of Communism in America. During this pandemic, the fear of getting the disease and put their lives at risk.
The uncertainty created in the Red Scare years was the result of Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy who accused that some members of the military and the federal government had ties with Communists. He accused but never presented any real evidence.
However, disinformation created fear.
Now, during the pandemic, different versions, people taking sies, half-truths, conspiracy theories, and a lot of drama in the news have created fear and confusion. Nothing is clear.
However, disinformation created fear.
The problem is that people are so vulnerable if they only depend on what they hear in the news, or waiting for the government for the official version. People have to take the initiative and be open to read different sources of information. Nationally, and foreign information. People have to read and listen to people who favor one side and option, as well as to listen to people who think otherwise and give the reasons why.
Then, when knowing different sides of the story, versions, and arguments -no opinions- people will be able to decide what is true and what is power and control.
