It’s gonna take decades before we can judge if any of these mitigations did a single thing. The fact it is even debatable says the effect they had was negligible at best; definitely not worth their cost to society. If it was worth it, it shouldn’t require fancy research to prove, it should be completely obvious and enormous. The fact we had plans zero clue if this stuff would work at all is reason enough to not do it. We subjected billions of people to a uncontrolled experiment. Worse it was without consent.
