There are still a lot of true believers that jump in to these covid discussions (even if it's just to mod down stuff that doesn't support their hysteria). I'm surprised there aren't any smug dismissals posted in this thread yet. Sadly these kind of stories rarely change minds. Once people have dug in, they only get emboldened by any contradictory evidence. Governments spent two+ years radicalizing people, then the messaging just sort of faded away. There should have been loud and unequivocal "ok this is over" but instead nothing because it's politically convenient
