My first utterance is HELP! This gradual descent into the bowels of backwards, up-side-down approach is what happens to most systems when the populace gets complacent. We forgot that the responsibility belongs to us for surveillance of the approach of our lives in all regards. Climbing back up that steep decline takes fortitude and determination like our lives depend on it, which they do!
I watched them dancing in their hospital scrubs / garb, in the hallways, during covid when there was no one in the hospital beds.
I know someone who works in a hospital, who shall remain unnamed. He is not a nurse, nor doctor, but one of the support staff. Overhearing the staff talk about how people who weren't vaxed should die, or how they should get zero help/ be turned away, when they got hurt, or even hoping the antivaxxers would all just die already.
Even tho I would word it differently, I can totally see where you are coming from, and heard and got similar responses to the dismay and chagrin of my idealist nature. UGH
