It’s curious.
When Charedi establishment liars lie the rubes into following the Goyish establishment, they directly invoke, not the putative “experts“, but the supposedly-independent “Da’as Torah” and “Gedolim” aping the Goyish establishment.
And yet, when their wise counsel explodes in their faces, as usual, the obligatory retraction takes the form of attacking in hindsight only the Goyish establishment experts (the ones followed blindly by “Da’as Torah” and the “Gedolim”, too!), no mention of “Da’as Torah” and “Gedolim” who gave assent and support until the bitter end.
Corona is just one example.
Curious, no?
