It was obvious from the beginning that lockdowns were a nothing-burger.

After a year of lockdown, about a 3rd of the way through it was clear they had almost no impact on the transmissibility of the "disease"; with huge spikes of "cases" (mostly asymptomatic) and a few deaths in the 80+ range and 1 or 2 within the 35+ age range. Strangely within regional and seasonal norms, give a % or two in either direction. Oh! I hear you say: "thats thanks to the lockdowns", lol but then again clawing at anything that makes sense of this madness is what you are expected to do and it's difficult to prove an alternate timeline; oh except for the reality Florida and Texas of course.

Fortunately some German scientists studied the topic and confirmed, the lockdowns only fucked the economy and saw a surge in suicide and joblessness that our children will be made to pay for.
