What you write is perfectly clear and straightforward. Alas, so far as I know, our current government has in no way learned its lesson. What is more, our current PM is on record as asserting that the people in the truckers' convoy were committing "sedition," and so deserved quite extreme punishment, including the freezing of their bank accounts. What is more, he continues to assert, so far as I know, that it was right to penalize in this way even people who did not participate in the demonstration, but contributed financially to the cause.
The dead hand of the state reasserted itself during that era. I suspect that when the truth leaks out of the recesses, it very likely could have been a military-based initiative behind the censoring and submission of the medical establishment to authoritarian appointees variously adept at deception. Protocols for approving vaccines of a decade earlier were dropped to allow a leaky vaccine (meaning non-sterilizing and committing what was referred to as original antigenic sin, making the inoculated a vector for mutation) while banning useful and safe repurposed antivirals available in the developed world. It was a glorious exercise (preview?) for pathological authoritarians. We won't know the full extent of the damage done from the vaccine for decades, but we knew fairly early on that those at serious risk from the virus were the aged and the immune compromised.

I detest street- and rail-blocking protests of all kinds, but the convoy was caused by bad government policy and prolonged by bad government tactics.
