I'd agree with this statement to a great extent. We saw during the pandemic how different approaches ranging from home remedies to alternative medicine treatments grew in awareness. It was not necessarily acceptance of these approaches, but in many cases, it was an experimentation for people in the hope of getting a cure or prevention. All of this was driven primarily by fear in my opinion.

Of course, when you generalize the idea that you can die from a certain thing and that this treatment is the only one that can protect you and your loved ones, you will be convinced.

Yes, there are treatments that people were skeptical of in other times and their effectiveness was proven, but the doubt now stems from the fact that most of what happens to people nowadays don't feel natural, but rather seems as if it were manufactured.
Life is hard on its own so let's make it easier for each other if we could.

Yes, fear across the world did lead many people to accept various forms of treatments, including vaccines. The urgency to protect themselves and their loved ones from potential harm made people more open to health practices they might not have considered under normal circumstances.

I believe it’s fear and some part is also trust because what we do not have answers to in this world is so much.

People chose to get COVID-19 vaccines for a range of reasons, including fear of getting sick, concern for their own health and others', and a desire to return to normal life. While fear was a factor, many were also driven by the goal of protecting themselves and those around them, as well as following public health advice.

I would say yes. Fear of getting sick and especially infecting others and loved ones. Regarding COVID, the problem was made much worse because there was not much information on the disease and it seemed like the WHO were constantly making guesses. Adding in how it also got unnecessarily political compounded the fear and uncertainty.
