The seasonal vagaries of infection levels led to modifications from Government of restrictions, of course. It is also possible that restrictions may also have played some part.
However, information questioning whether restrictions affect death rates was never considered. Information demonstrating that infection levels and death levels were reducing each time before new lockdowns were introduced was ignored. Information from international comparative studies demonstrating that lockdowns make no difference to death levels was ignored. Major studies showing masks achieve nothing was ignored.
It may be that restrictions achieved something but the case was never made, nor a grown up consideration of whether, if they do save lives, general restrictions may cost more lives in the long run and so should not be used; but rather the vulnerable only should be protected as best as possible - which all on this site have always argued for.
With most of the damage done in hospitals and care homes the lockdown enthusiasts just carried on ignoring this and pursuing pointless, destructive restrictions against everyone; as if everyone was equally at risk.
If the lockdown enthusiasts adjust to new information; why will we still be suffering restrictions tomorrow and into late June when 6 people in the UK died "with" Covid in the past 24 hours, the vulnerable are vaccinated & hospital capacity is fine?
Anyone who remains a lockdown supporter given this information meets my definition of gullible. |

Exactly as they should have been as we've always said on here. Some kind of lockdown early on, until vaccines discovered (which, since it's a trivial virus for most, like variants of flu, would, we predicted, happen fairly fast). But not too late; not instead of protecting the vulnerable. |

Isn't this precisely what the lockdown enthusiasts have done?
No
With explication not being their strong point either... |
