Step 1 is to remove plausible deniability, e.g. urgency being used to bypass existing controls, and restore some systemic control. Ultimately we will need new systems to prevent this from happening again, at many levels of governance.

There are many nested challenges, e.g. system/regulatory capture is not new, but can you think of a single historical example with pervasive lockstep censorship across media, industry and government in multiple countries? Did government relief/stimulus funding distort incentives for health outcomes, e.g. ineffective high-fee ventilators vs. early treatment with existing drugs?

Even in the face of lockstep censorship, as truth/facts surfaced in 2020-2021, why did no organized presentation achieve widespread public visibility? Without an accurate threat model (e.g. infiltration of health freedom groups, https://ccsfreedom.org/), truth will not be sufficient to prevail against organized opposition.
