This is an equal or more radical stance than even the article takes on most things. There’s hardly been any reckoning about what went wrong during COVID, it’s a bit of a stretch of project a decade from now there will be a serious anti-government backlash. It’s just as likely the same organizations which implemented these policies will close ranks and still be staffed by much of the same people and not much will change. Besides some think pieces and political narratives. Just look at the rhetorical blowback following the Iraq wars for example. That was 10x louder and more politically acceptable than critiquing vaccine mandates and masks and it still took 1.5 decades to end the actual wars, little real change in Patriot act or intelligence agencies in practice, and any real long term anti-intervention stance is mostly just circumstance of it being mostly peaceful. I doubt there will be anything much more significant comparatively in the health agencies and politically if another pandemic happens in the next decade. The narrative is very much in their favour, there’s no bloodbath coming for their jobs, let’s be honest.
