I'm more referring to the general public. Antivax sentiment will increase because of the shenanigans pulled. That will likely spill over into distrust of other areas of science. There have just been a lot of incidents lately that kills trust in anything and everything. The election crap. Covid crap. CRT crap. Peaceful protest crap. The general public isn't terribly rational in the first place, but continued trust would be extremely irrational, even if they get it wrong.
I generally don't buy into conspiratorial arguments, because common goals and common groupthink explain things better, but the push to have covid recovered people take the vaccine screams of conspiratorial corruption and greed. There's never been evidence that induced immunity works better than natural immunity against any virus, that I'm aware of. It strikes me as a way to get pharma paid for dosing people who don't need it, and it's a big fucking market.
Empire of lies
Can't take credit for that one. George Orwell quote popularized by Ron Paul. "Truth is treason in an empire of lies."
Antivax sentiment will increase because of the shenanigans pulled.
No doubt this is true.
That will likely spill over into distrust of other areas of science.
The name of 'science' is far too often abused, and that will end up the same way as when the name of God was abused to justify everything that is in the interests of the powers that be.

That, and the fact that coercion is an end in itself. If you can coerce someone, then you have power over him. It makes sense that politicians, corrupt scientists and the so called intelligentsia would attempt to coerce the rest of society.

Are they not supposed to be equivalent? The concept of 'natural' immunity confuses Morbo.

And that's true enough.
