    I don’t think so. It’s more a side effect of the fact that the disaster was successfully prevented that makes it seem like there was no disaster at all to begin with, and that it was all fearmongering.

    Like with acid rain, or Y2K.

    People worked very hard in the background to prevent bad things from happening, but because they did so, and the effects weren’t outwardly public, it didn’t seem like very much happened at all.
