> Trivialising this to fear of vaccines misses the point.

We had concerted anti-vaccine campaign. Literally trying to make you feel afraid of vaccines or feel sorry for kids that might get them. And yes, it was fear spread by men who fancy themselves manly men.

> The lack of human communication being the new normal, cut friendships and shattered communities are the real killer here.

I am particularly salty about this one. Because the exact same ideological and political groups who are throwing complete temper tamptrum over lockdown are the ones who want women to be stay at home moms. I did not, lockdowns were easier, you had a lot more communication and everybody was in the same position so you could realate.

Lockdowns were an easy mode compare to the thing they want force women into.
