Shut down what exactly? The ultra rich got ultra richer, governments around the world obtained power to the degree that Aussies were literally putting people into concentration camps and people were cheering for it, Canadians had their bank accounts locked, and people were cheering for it, parents in the US complained about schools and were arrested for it, etc. And none of these powers were revoked. The only thing that didn't happen is the powers that be getting full vaxx passports and social credit going on their first try. Nothing has changed to ever prevent another lockdown. If anything, it's shown us that a majority are okay with more, and the government has nothing to lose.
