Is there any evidence that this authoritarianism actually makes people any "safer"?

  Proof positive of the effects of authoritarian policies are often seen after the implementation. See: COPPA, Patriot Act, and various COVID policies.

    I saw the exact opposite with COVID responses and if you are interested I can point you to plenty of data. I also saw massive censorship, Ursula Von Der Lyden talking about getting rid of the Nuermburg code, and talk of jailing people for "misinformation", i.e. wrong-think. This is not how science should work.

  It makes the authority safer from being criticized that they should have done something. That of course is the real purpose.
