The American public lost faith in all those institutions in the 1970s. COVID didn't make a dent. Hell, we already stopped trusting science in general well before COVID-19. Our authority figures are largely ignored in favor of whoever shouts the loudest and angriest. We elect maniacal buffoons from TV rather than experienced, trustworthy, decent human beings (and again, that started in the 80s).
People will always swallow a magic pill that fixes all their problems. What changes is the form the pill takes and who's selling it.
