The tragic Texas flood warning failure is a reminder: Government protections, like vaccines, save countless lives, but require trust and upkeep to work their quiet magic. When politicians claim these systems do more harm than good, people die. And we’re about to relearn that lesson, again and again.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
