Turns out one common reaction is an abiding sense of regret.
Could it be that one day volunteering to take an experimental drug, twice, thrice, errrr frice, will be considered when evaluating, say, health insurance premiums?
Could it be one day that wide spread deterioration, combined with PREP act ensured lack of recourse, leads to a single payer system. When thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of people extringuish their savings and their family wealth and are still sick will those people expect the system that they believed, that led them there, owes them something? Yes.
Does it? It isn't clear. I write as one who capitulated and took the shots because if I didn't I couldn't go to school. Nevermind what kind of school. I'm approaching middle age, I've wasted time, and finally I thought I would redeem that wasted time in a meaningful way... I'm still trying to bargain with the fate I chose... Alas, we all have our reasons.
Those who were genuinely mislead have a better argument, and I hope they get compensated. There is no question that the "panic" was contrived. The screens were turned against their adoring masses, and led them into the folly of becomming an uncompensated, unprotected, medical experiment. On every screen, a dashboard, every time the same message: FEAR, written in big red letters and a death count. I cannot look back and say I behaved anything less than recklessly--in the culpable sense--when I submitted. I would kid myself if I could, but submission is submission regardless of apparent coercion.
Sometimes, to keep anything, you have to be willing to lose it all. Those that were so willing, will keep hope at least.
