Never did from day one. By resisting I knew from the beginning that I would be viewed as crazy, having an unhealthy "obsession" that came at the expense of friends and family, a non team player, disruptive and/or "needing help" during the pandemic. When in actuality, my actions were because I CARED about other humans and was totally sane while almost everyone else were de facto zombies. I also knew that after the pandemic, any hint of "I told you" would lead to the same views. That sentiment will persist because the average person just wants to move on vs. reconciling the truth that all of us knew very early on. Any mention of Covid has become a trigger for most. Even when the facts can not be denied people will not recognize that we were doing what we did for the right reasons. If they did, it could make them feel like they didn't act or were duped when faced with a binary decision between RIGHT and WRONG. Knowing that folks like us who paid the PRICE, when others could not be bothered while being dismissed after making those sacrifices made resistance that much more difficult. But I could do no other in good conscience, in particular for my children. That dynamic is/has been and probably will always be the most frustrating experience I've had in my life.
