I'm not saying that lockdown didn't save lives. I'm saying it's no longer necessary. The purpose of lockdown is to keep the number of infections below the point that they overwhelm the medical system.

That’s the purpose in aggregate. On an individual level, it’s ideal to not catch the coronavirus at all, and to get the vaccine when it is available. The lockdown is the most effective way to achieve those individual results, and save those individual lives, at the highest levels. The benefits of the lockdown to the individual and to society are not mutually exclusive, so why focus on flattening the curve only?
