The facts never changed, but what the doctors chose to believe and why was/is a different matter.

In situations like COVID19, which was a brand new virus, the scientists were using the scientific method to learn from what evidence they could gather how the virus was transmitted, how it affected humans. At the beginning they were pretty sure that it was transmitted in the air, and because the virus was so dangerous, they erred on the side of caution, assuming that there MIGHT BE transmission via contact with the virus on surfaces until they were able to rule it out, which took quite a while. Which is why we were letting packages sit for a couple of days, and wiping them down with bleach before touching them.

This wasn't a matter of what someone chose to believe, but rather a matter of what had not yet been learned!
