it was calculated how many lives were saved thanks to vaccines, wearing masks, social distancing, lockdowns etc. just because some people with different sets of values don't believe those numbers doesn't mean they aren't true...

"We estimate that across these 6 countries, interventions prevented or delayed on the order of 61 million confirmed cases, corresponding to averting approximately 495 million total infections."

"COVID-19 vaccination has substantially altered the course of the pandemic, saving tens of millions of lives globally. However, inadequate access to vaccines in low-income countries has limited the impact in these settings, reinforcing the need for global vaccine equity and coverage."
