It happened. I assure you. Debate, healthy skepticism, questioning... It was all completely shut down. You were not allowed to discuss anything but The Science. I've been yelled at by people I know in real life for discussing T-Cell immunity. Some of the smartest people I know completely lost their minds. They'll never be the same and I'll never have the relationship with them I had pre-pandemic.

The story of the last 2 years is 10% disease mitigation, 20% intellectual error, 30% media fear-mongering and 40% politics & tribalism.

The fact that I can find articles discussing T-cell response all the way through the pandemic with a simple Google search seems to indicate that people were talking about it. Maybe you shouldn't let the people in your social circle dictate what you think is happening in the broader world? And I don't mean that to snarky, but I feel like I see a lot of this type of generalizing.
