Are we still pretending the measures they took actually worked? I mean really guys, if you think that we needed more intervention to stop the covid then I dont really know what to tell you.

Well, we took a ton of half measures and performed a lot of safety theater. Big shocker, it didn't work well. Either way, the point wasn't to stop the disease entirely, but spread out the cases to "flatten the curve" and reduce load on hospitals, which it did do.

No, it didnt work at all. We literally knew lockdowns didnt work in spring of 2020, it was all a steaming pile of bullshit including flattening the curve.

Strange, because the countries where they did implement those measures came out better than the ones that didn't.

I'm sorry, but you can't argue with history.

Apples and oranges. There was a study in spring of 2020 by JP morgan chase that showed the exact thing that anyone that was looking at the data would see, the lockdowns did absolutely nothing. Literally nothing.

Man, a massive corporation whose bottom line would be hugely impacted from a proper lock down said a proper lockdown wouldn't work? That's craaaaaaaaazy 🙄

Gotcha, we are just going to do science denial now.
