[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly at this point who cares. We did the best we could under a unique and heretofore inexperienced event. This is for scientists to be studying to plan for future pandemics. Getting angry now is ridiculous. [/quote]

The problem is we weren’t allowed to ask questions and dissenting views were discouraged. Anytime you’re not allowed to ask questions or push back on something you should be concerned. The climate at the time didn’t allow questioning of precautions. [/quote]

What are you talking about? There were plenty of people who questioned everything and did whatever they wanted anyway. It’s not like the police came and arrested people for expressing dissenting views. Even in early covid when people were dying, plenty of people questioned why they had to be inconvenienced to save other people’s lives and behaved accordingly. Lockdowns were never going to work in this country because we are a narcissistic and selfish society who rarely behave for the greater good of community. [/quote]

+1 million - one of the most notable things about the COVID response was the almost immediate rise of a faction of loud people that were determined to push back against any measure that would inconvenience them in the slightest.[/quote]

The measures were dumb. Just delaying the inevitable. [/quote]

It was beneficial to delay until vaccines were available [/quote]

Natural resistance could have built up in the interim. That’s the primary defense now. Not many are getting the vaccine these days. [/quote]

Covid has killed off the majority that it will and it’s mutated to being less serious which is what was the goal.   The vaccines don’t stop transmission.

People don’t seem to care that many millions died prematurely from Covid.  Kids lost their families.  [/quote]

And? Restrictions wouldn't have helped either. Those people still would have become infected. [/quote]

[b]Getting infected after vaccination reduced deaths. Fewer people died. [/b]The restrictions made sense until vaccines were available. [/quote]

How do you know this?  I believed this at the time but now looking back it seems like the virus got weaker. [/quote]

It got “weaker” because we were no longer an immune naive population. [/quote]
Society of Actuaries data shows that excess mortality due to covid remained high during 2021, even with vaccines and acquired immunity. Excess mortality due to covid only fell off sharply in Q2-2022 and has remained low since. What changed in Q2-2022? The milder Omicron strain became dominant in the US in Q1-2022, with deaths a lagging indicator. https://www.soa.org/4ac0fd/globalassets/assets/files/resources/experience-studies/2023/group-life-covid-mort-06-23.pdf  Table 5.9   https://covariants.org/per-country[/quote]
