To be clear, millions of people would have died even if there weren't a pandemic. I know you're probably saying "millions of people have died because of the pandemic", but a better line of argument would be "millions of people have survived who wouldn't have if governments didn't implement lockdowns".[0]
That leaves the question of whether the lives saved were worth the cost of the lockdowns, I suppose, but I'm sure the people who survived due to the lockdowns (if they knew who they were) would generally answer "yes".

- smaryjerry 5y agoWhen you look at areas with the strictest lockdowns and compare them to areas with the least restrictive or non lockdowns the benefit is nearly zero. You can’t claim those people are saved by them. I don’t think people understand exactly how contagious this disease is. There will never be a point when it is wiped out until herd immunity is reached and at the rate of mutations that will never happen.
