i have worried/suspected that one of the many benefits of a major war will be being able to wash this problem away, both legally and possibly symptomatically (introduce confounding factors).
in other words, this awkward period where people are starting to realize there is a problem is temporary. there is a plan to cut it short.
I’m afraid you’re probably right, they will use the war to distract us from this and stay in denial as long as they can. But there are some good people out there who want to expose the truth and I hope they succeed and justice is ultimately done.
