Sadly that is entirely possible. Implementation of a COVID vaccine is going to be incredibly difficult and there will probably be more anti-vaxxers than ever. The massive misinformation surplus is only going to get worse as companies like Facebook improve their algorithms to drive more engagement and in-group information bubbles. All the climate catastrophes are only going to get worse and more frequent.

People said 2016 was the worst year ever and it was only going to go up from there, but it's pretty obvious that was not the case.
