gollark: Like the "online safety bill" and whatever policing things people are angry about here.
gollark: Yeeees, it seems like the particularly totalitarian stuff just gets shoved through without COVID-19 being hugely related.
gollark: But that seems inaccurate because politicians also probably look good/bad if they do well/badly against COVID-19 regardless.
gollark: If you were somewhat more cynical than me I guess you could think something like: updated vaccines aren't part of mainstream political discourse yet, they are unlikely to be unless there is deployment/development of them, and so politicians (who are optimizing for looking good according to said political discourse) don't care and don't do anything about the situation.
gollark: I said three things. Maybe I should retroactively use semicolons.
