I believe this 100%. The moral injury of the period, the grief from not just the too and so many deaths but the kinds of lives we had before, the laying bare of disposability, the non covid deaths it sped, the institutional strain, the collective fear and distrust, the prioritization of work anyway

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

"these skewed ideas about scientists are not just laughable & inaccurate but pernicious. I fear they worsen societal attitudes toward the entire scientific enterprise. And they prevent young students from seeing science as a future that might include them" www.scientificamerican.com/article/dist...
