That's true; I'm just not as optimistic. The covid propaganda has also been palpably less with each new booster. I think when the propaganda machine spins up again, all the "recently-smart" people who realized they were duped will excitedly be duped again, and they will shun people like us again as "conspiritards" and "anti-vaxxers."
They might be falling off the booster wagon, but they're doing so silently. No one is apologizing or eating crow over it.
I agree some people will backtrack. I suppose if this comes to pass we'll see how many, I just believe this post is fear mongering and TPTB will throw something different at us. A repeat of COVID just feels unlikely to achieve similar results as last time without a massive increase in force used for enforcement.
But in any case I mostly came back to write to say I appreciate how you explained your position, a lot of times disagreements here get a little dicey so I am always pleased to speak with someone articulate who keeps it civil
