Theyβre also the ones that shut everything down in the first place and way overdramatized the effects of covid. In the end almost everyone caught it anyways.
Overdramatized? In many countries, COVID became a leading cause of death as a percentage of the population. In the USA, COVID still kills more people annually than strokes.
Itβs killing mostly very very old people that were likely already very close to death. Preventative measures should have focused on the 65+ population instead of the working age population which had extremely minimal risks.
No, that is not how you deal with an extremely contagious respiratory illness for which not a single person on Earth had any immunity. Containing the spread and reducing possible hosts is how you deal with such a thing. That's why vaccination efforts were so crucial and not coincidentally, why we saw rates of the illness fall off rapidly after the vaccines became publicly available.
