Public health crises, such as pandemics, can have profound implications for political engagement by intensifying citizen involvement or skepticism. During a crisis, individuals often seek information and accountability from authorities, which can either enhance public participation or lead to disillusionment if expectations are not met. Increased visibility of inequalities may galvanize grassroots movements, prompting calls for reform. Political engagement may also shift online, changing traditional analysis of public sentiment. In sum, health crises serve as catalysts for political discourse and actions, potentially reshaping the relationship between citizens and their governments.
