A lot of people will be "awww, shucks, it's too late now, what does it matter? What would we do different?" Well, for one, we should remember to completely crucify the oh-so-helpful people who wanted to censor anything as misinformation or disinformation. They were wrong. They'll need to be reminded that they suppressed the truth, and they'll need reminding constantly, for at least a decade. "Hey, remember that time when everyone banded together to suppress the truth?" More reminders would be in order: everyone who immediately started gibbering about racist xenophobes is gonna have to walk that back. Anyone who wanted to have word games about what "gain of function" really means needs a long and grinding reminder. We should assess our remaining faith in the WHO in light of their repeated mistakes, spoken with that total confidence. You know what I am talking about. "Mere mortal, you are not an epidemiologist, we told you that this wasn't airborne." The people who over-confidently tried to control the narrative, beat others down, shut them up, and so forth? Jostling them with the truth of their mistakes, again and again, might help for it not to happen next time.
