Sadly, people have been lied to by omission by our govts and public health and they don’t know that no one fully recovers from Covid.

So, let's play make-believe and pretend that Prasad has rock solid proof the vaccine killed 10 kids.
He is now sitting on it, refusing to give doctors on the ground the information they need to inform their patients.
The opposite of radical transparency.

I definitely agree with too late, but as for too little… the “lockdowns” did work to bring case numbers down. UK got so close to elimination.
Using airborne precautions would have saved lives and reduced the length of the more harsh measures…

BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.

I mention sometimes how investigating local governments turned me into an anarchist. This is a major example.
Black community tries to get a pool fixed? "Change is slow," multi-year process then never happens.
Chamber of commerce wants something evil and costly? Happens within months, even weeks.

Yes. I think it's also a sign of how status quo propaganda around "good change is inherently painfully slow" has seeped into the wider culture, even among radicals (you are not immune to propaganda, etc).
But it was never true! That was just an excuse used to deny basic demands and shut people up.

maybe i’m naive but i think it’s kinda doomerism to always be saying this is gonna take decades to undo or you’ll be old or dead when it ends. first it doesn’t matter, plant trees you won’t live to sit in the shade of. second great change is capable of happening very quickly

There's also racial dynamics that's often ignored. It's white figureheads that are often the loudest about remote learning being bad, meanwhile Indigenous and Black kids lost caregivers from Covid at higher rates. And the horrors they faced are almost never mentioned in opinion pieces.
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.
