if we really wanted to build a 'high trust' society then what would be needed now would be comprehensive apologies from the people who tried to enforce mask mandates and social distancing. and then some kind of investigation into how it was possible for it to be known that they didn't work to prevent transmission but were still supported by so many who claimed it was known that it did work to prevent transmission. it's actually astonishing that we still don't know how this harmful misinformation made it into official policies.
