I see this first hand in the formerly Covid-psychotic progressive-majority public library I work in. These people want nothing more than to flush the vaccine they cheered for and talked about incessantly for months down the memory hole. I rather like to bring it up at every opportunity but they are growing ever fewer lol

Great post on a very astute and encouraging observation.

As Eugyppius pointed out, the True Believers never change their minds, but they _do_ become increasingly isolated and less influential over time as people gradually distance themselves from them. Compare the amount of prominence and influence the ZeroCovid forevermaskers had eighteen months ago to what they have today.

Also, the "Crisis Crisis" reminds me of an observation Thomas Sowell made in one of his books: the word "crisis" is simply a synonym for "situation" at this point.
