There's a big difference, legally and morally, between not granting a positive right (eg. a licence to drive cars) and violently denying negative rights (eg. meeting with family, being in public, peacefully seeking basic needs, speech).

Acquiring a licence does not require an experimental gene therapy with alarming or unknown side effects.

As the dust is settling and more is becoming known, will apologies be forthcoming? Can forgiveness ever be expected for the terrible and life-changing oppression imposed and encouraged over the last few years?

no apologies are coming. there will not be a day where everyone wakes up and realizes the terrifying scope of what has happened. people will take their learned hate to the grave. these wounds won't heal for at least a couple of generations, possibly more, and even then, only at the societal level, not that of the individual.

I don't think the "i read something on facebook, vaccines=bad!! also, furthermore..." folks are the type that would offer apologies, I'm afraid.
