On the contrary this will probably be one of the safest planes to fly once they fix all issues (assuming they can) since no other plane would have undergone such in depth review and testing ever.
How do you know they fixed all issues? Surely all issues will be fixed which the regulators can find. But I am sure there will be cover-up still. And more to it regulators have clearly demonstrated their incapability and unwillingness to find something.

How can you claim that since the plane has not been allowed to resume flights around the world since it was stopped? Are you privy to the current investigation? Any secret you'd like to share?

Funny you say that, since this is precisely how aviation has progressed over time: we keep finding failure modes and fixing them so that we make flying a little more safe every time. If all companies were fined to death every single time they made a mistake/had an accident, there would be no one flying anymore.
I fully agree with your last two sentences. However, it has come to light that the FAA has handed over almost all oversight to Boeing. Therefore, I wouldn't trust the FAA being either willing or (after a decade of deregulation) even capable of finding issues. The MCAS deficiencies where glaring obvious. They weren't noticed. Why should I trust the FAA this time?
How do you know all the previous planes have no issues at all? The only way you truly know is the track record and we do need to give the Max or its successor the benefit of doubt at some point. What's the point of having regulations of we don't believe in them anyway and depend on feelings? Of course, the regulations allowed 300+ people to die, but that's a thing to be fixed and improved.
It could go as something like this - since we know how much safety was omitted in chase of profit, we see the most common problems. But airplanes are massively complex, and compromises could have been done on thousands of other places. Those could start failing after 10+ years of service for example, or in some rather unusual corner cases.
Faith is a funny thing - once lost, it needs to be massively overcompensated to come to similar levels as before, and even after that things are just not the same...
