COVID lockdowns were one of the worst affronts to freedom and basic science. Proponents of the measures said they were necessary to stop hospitals from being overwhelmed; that argument went right out the window when health care workers started doing choreographed dance routines on TikTok.
They did far more damage than good: to the economy, to children and their education, and to society in general.

They'll never apologize.
Necessary for...what, exactly? The masks proved worthless and people were still out and about. The virus is not endemic and has mutated to about equal with a cold. We could have reached that point a lot sooner.

Yep.
They'd have kept us locked down in perpetuity had we let them.
Lockdowns were a historic evil that accomplished absolutely nothing of value whatsoever

Anyone who can’t acknowledge that at this point is only trying to protect themselves from admitting they were wrong https://t.co/JnT7kRHWod
Not only protecting themselves from admitting they were wrong, making it possible to try this again.
Wrong. It was never “necessary” to:

- induce a global panic
- shred our social fabric
- lock vulnerable people in with their abusers
- collapse all social supports
- ban all other healthcare
- violate human rights en masse
- ignore the pre-existing knowledge base… https://t.co/UbLoWWOcJL
This.
All of this.
Seeing this guy get absolutely destroyed for his advocacy of evil is brightening my day. https://t.co/ekO9sTnNHh
