No, it just acclimates people to their government lying to them.
When (or if) they protest new measures, they're gaslit as if their concerns are hyperbolic and that scope creep isn't a thing that happens.
Fauci and others admitted to intentionally misleading people. In particular, I'm thinking of when they were trotting out the % of the population that would need to be vaccinated, which crept up from 60% to over 85, before they stopped talking numbers altogether.[0]
Now, you've got people who were already predisposed to mistrust authority who will flat-out disbelieve anything that comes out of the CDC, even if the CDC told them the sky was blue.
