It gave huge swaths of the population a grudge against the system, a chip on their shoulder that won't go away anytime soon. It gave belligerent jackasses as stage upon which to perform. I suspect the grudge was long there, and the chip sat so long on their shoulder prior to the pandemic that it left a stain on many of their shirts. We should not cater to them. It burned up goodwill and trust for experts and politicians (who generally didn't have much to spare in the first place.) Again, just an excuse. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater because people that know far more about the subject than you do got a few things wrong, well, that's just being immature and/or supporting a narrative. We should not cater to them, either. But at least we can agree that closing the schools was a bad idea.
