Our reactions to the pandemic were a roll call, one way or the other. We all took our sides, and that side is predictive of the side we'll take in future such occurrences.
The shaming of those who didn't feel like toeing the line, or even so much as expressed sympathy for those who didn't feel like toeing the line, was, eh, slightly surprising I guess. I don't like to admit to feeling surprise at evolved apes running their programming though. It really shouldn't be surprising.

All we had to go on was the hellhole that was the Lombardy health system at the time. Sadly, as time went on, no one seemed to want to acknowledge that not only did the virus change, but our knowledge of it also changed. Once the vaccines came out it was game over for the most part. But many would not let it go.

The problem is that even today, mask nazis exist. Service men and women are being discharged for not taking a vaccine that doesn't work or doesn't work very well. Hospital employees are being shown the exit door, at a time when we're closing floors (not rooms) for inadequate staff.
The madness lingers on...

Old people are also getting ridiculed for wearing masks, using hand sanitizer in public, etc. Maybe it's not madness exactly but it's pretty shitty.

Maybe where you are at, but I don't see it down here.
OTOH, we generally have better manners than damnyankees.

And miss the hospital dance routines?
Oster bought into the religion, long after the science had moved on. Look at her statement about injecting bleach, a Left -wing trope...I watched that news conference. It was very early in the pandemic, and everybody was grasping at treatment straws. Trump made a comment while spit-balling multiple ideas and the talking heads took it out of context and ran with it.
And the Leftist acolytes said amen.
No, things have changed. Actions must change with new knowledge. Apologies aside, there are people who lost their jobs over not taking an ineffective vaccine. There are military who were discharged for not taking the vaccine. Both civilians and military should be compensated.
We also need to take a very hard look at emergency power laws. There needs to be very clear guidance on when those can be enforced and how long they should run without mandated reapproval by legislatures.

Is that a worst to best list or a best to worst list?

Mik, if I may? The article says it produces a stronger immune response against Omicron than the original vaccine against Omicron. It doesn’t say that it produces a stronger response overall, which is what the headline/link implies. Beyond that, yes, it damn well should produce a better response against Omicron. That’s not really news… Beyond that, why are sending out a press release without presenting the study?
The results, which Pfizer announced in a news release, have not been published in a medical journal or reviewed by outside scientists..
Then why make this announcement?
Two independent studies posted online late last month suggested that the updated shots do not offer better protection against the new omicron subvariants than the original vaccines do..
Oh…
