| >Lockdowns work and they worked well given what what was known at the time. Objection, arguing facts not in evidence. Edit: in response to the part you added after your original post: >While the social and economic cost is now known to be immense, public health officials have a duty of care to the most vulnerable in society. The social and economic costs were mostly predictable back before the lockdowns ever happened. People opposed to the lockdowns were practically screaming what the consequences would be. They were ignored with calls of "If it saves one life!" and "You're killing grandma!" Meanwhile it's come out that several (if not all) countries that imposed lockdowns didn't even attempt to do a rudimentary cost-benefit analysis prior to locking everything down. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-lockdown-files-rishi... |
