Did he write much about the pandemic? I could only find one paper. Did other anarchists? What was their view on the state, use of violence, social control, lockdowns, forced closures of services and shops, travel restrictions, forced vaccinations, freedom and anarchism? I imagine like with non anarchists that there was a wide range of views ranging from the pro-freedom to the pro-lockdown.

The only bit of evidence from Graeber apart from the linked paper was that he did go on vacation in 2020 around the time when many people might not have left their house, and when many people were forced by the state not to travel. This was of course before the vaccination issue. The paper seemed to indicate he viewed it as temporary and one that would provide lessons to people. Do anarchists hold the latter view now? What are these lessons? Is there reflection on the range of views and any conflicts it showed?

I find the range of responses given at the time when it was going on interesting and reflect the conflict between collective responsibility and freedom.
