Media fatigue/cynicism. In the past 10 years, we've had apocalyptic scenarios about anti-vax, Trump, Brexit, IS, trade war, property crisis, recession, climate change, US government shutdowns. Before that, there was cigarettes, obesity, food industry, big pharma, nuclear war, 9/11. We've also had Zika, SARS, MERS, Ebola.

I have no idea how scary this is because the media cries wolf all the time. Everyone cries wolf but life still goes on. So when something actually bad does happen, everyone's been desensitized to it. It's even worse today now that newsjacking is a thing.
