I don't know if that makes much sense as an argument in itself. I looked at the table and Sweden (where I live) we had a very opposite response to COVID than Australia and still saw an increase in life expectancy from 2014-2021, almost on par with Australia (0.9 for SWE, 1.0 for AUS). Sweden fared better than New Zealand which had a similar approach as Australia.
