The damage being done to the future just by discouraging smart people from caring about the general population must be enormous.
Imagine you worked your whole life (spent it, a thing you don’t get any more of and is the most valuable thing you have) to protect and save as many lives as possible, including gaining education and experience making you an expert on what you do, only to live under the constant threat of punishment from imbeciles that wield power like a child with a magnifying glass and an anthill.
Pretty strong deterrent against good people doing good things.
