For short term political gains the future response to a worse pandemic was sacrificed. BTW, that future pandemic isn’t a question of if, it’s when.

Add in those who also rejected the other mitigation measures such as masks and you’re talking about some zeitgeist changing numbers.

There were some reports of people begging for the vaccine on their death beds, way too late for it to do any good, full of regret for not getting it.

There were also reports of people denying that the disease that was literally killing them was covid. They were adamant it didn't exist. It killed them.

So a mixed bag to say the least.

But let's not forget many who got the vaccine also died.

It isn't 100% effective.
