Many people, at this point, are skeptical of health officials at best, if not downright distrustful. Folks have articulated views that COVID is being used as a vehicle for control and the overall restructuring of society.
Tensions over COVID restrictions are mounting, rather than waning. These tensions also align with partisanship and politics. Many Republicans are sounding the alarm against mandates like vaccine passports and the forced masking of children in schools.
