The three phase plan sounds good, but scientists, government officials, and the healthcare workers that like hearing how heroic they are seem to be the ones who actually think it's a good plan. Nobody is telling dentists, pharmacists, chiropractors, proctologists, gynecologists, or pediatricians they're heroes or saviors, since at a certain point it would all start to sound silly.

Refers to an unfortunate situation where someone who had begun exhibiting undesirable behavior that others had initially assumed was his "just going through a phase" actually does **not** eventually "taper off", but continues to display said distressing attitude/actions.
My teenage son started being really rude and mouthy at age 12, and our pediatrician had assured me that it was "merely a stage he was going through", and that "he'd outgrow it eventually". Well, that was over six years ago, and if anything the boy's behavior is even more sulkily-resentful and anti-social than ever --- looks like a phase-locked loop to me!
