A short essay from Healthy-Skeptic (dot com) that's worth reading:

"Two Years On, When Do We Get Our Apologies?"
By Kevin Roche • March 13, 2022

Excerpt:
The media ignored, or even bashed, alternative analyses or policy recommendations. It literally worked hand-in-hand with governments to promote the official message with unquestioning obeisance. It never pushed for full transparency.

Excerpt two:
I don’t expect any of these mea culpas to occur. But if the apologies aren’t forthcoming, it reflects an unwillingness to acknowledge error. And a failure to acknowledge error makes it unlikely that any learnings will be gleaned to guide the response to future epidemics.
