At the onset of the virus we were told by all major media outlets that masks were not needed. Really?

Was this intentional lying to try and bypass the shortage of masks at the time or did they really believe this?

Moreover, should all of these news outlets be sued now?

How many lives were lost as a result?

Let me guess, so long as it was not Fox news it's Ok.

Things like this is why no one trusts the media or government.

I guess fox reporters need them more than doctors and nurses.

It is interesting that at testing sites you had people in hazmat suits for suspected Covid cases that were better protected than astronauts going to the moon, but in hospitals you had nurses who were caring for known Covid patients rewashing a flimsy mask that should only have been worn for no more than an 8 hour period.

That is, if they were even lucky enough to have a mask.

Should hospitals be sued?

I'm reminded of the poor nurse in Texas sent in to care for an ebola victim with the same flimsy garb, telling her it would protect her. If I recall she sued and won.

Who in their right mind wants to go into health care now?

The Irish PM.
The thousands of volunteers in UK who have come out of retirement.

I guess the answer to your question is "people who care".
You presumably have trouble with that concept.
