In 2021, I remember reporting on the words of senior political leaders. Of course, I knew that people like president Biden and prime minister Johnston were not doctors or scientists.
However, I assumed they would be directly advised by the best their respective countries had to offer.
Having assumed these leaders were well informed, I often passed on what they had to say.
Well, this video is just one example of how they got things wrong, meaning in turn I was wrong.
The age of deference has well and truly passed.
