Sometimes you can believe the right thing for the wrong reason.

It's dangerous to encourage people to believe false things (or quietly fail to correct false beliefs) if they lead to correct conclusions though. Such strategies may work in the short term, but the world is chaotic, and generally a wrong-but-helpful belief today will become a wrong-and-harmful belief tomorrow.

We learned this with the whole 2020-era attempt to try to convince people that covid is not airborne so that people would not hoard masks and leave them for emergency staff. It ended up leading to really harmful misconceptions that are still persisting.

Misconceptions will persist all the time. Governments will lag behind. Mpox is going to be a pandemic and never rely on the government as a source of ahead of the times news… it’s laggard state that is emblematic of clumsy / inefficient and selfish thinking by humans fueled by egoist behaviours in an attempt to be some person of significance. 

The bull shit Trudeau speaks on camera , lacks detail and reasoning for the inefficiencies of his government , is very clear picture of how governments obfuscate the truth under the facade of doing what is right based on “common knowledge”. Where in fact they should be ahead.
