Here's the reality. Covid is actually not a big deal for individuals. Many people were capable of fighting it on their own and even still for many people the symptoms were minor. Covid however WAS a huge deal for medical and healthcare infrastructure, because doctors needed to now deal with an influx of people with potentially more serious symptoms and compromised immune systems ON TOP OF existing patients that also needed to be seen. This was poorly communicated to the average person, to the average person it just looked like the government put them out of work and is forcing them to get a shot for seemingly no reason. If the entire point of the quarantines and broad vaccination campaign was properly communicated to the average person, which was to help relieve public healthcare and medical infrastructure and prevent potential collapse of it, then maybe the lockdowns and vaccines would've gone better, but instead to the average person it all looked like it was done out of malice, and it opened the floodgates for conspiracy retards and grifters selling people horse semen. As easy as it would be to turn people who are on the opposite end of the political spectrum to you into scapegoats, the fact of the matter was that the government did handle it poorly, even if they did have good intentions. You can't blame the average person for this when they were also victims
