Well, most of the measures in most of the European countries were ruled as unconstitutional: locked into our houses not being allowed to get out, curfews afterwards at night and so on (and of course all these rules were set in place by politicians that never respected any of them - and worse, a lot of them made money by importing and selling back to the state masks and other PPE equipment). Most of the people, even if they took the vaccines, but dared to say anything about forcing people to get them or commenting on the absurdity of police patrolling parks and stopping any groups of more than 3 people, forcing masks outside in cold weather (not even bothering to read the instructions on the box) were all labelled antivaxxers, corona deniers and right wing nazis. So a lot of people decided to shut up and let the new religion of “I believe in science” do their thing. But next time when a serious pandemic hits, the trust has already been eroded.
