I recall think the very time the lockdowns started “this won’t just be 2 weeks, I don’t know if this is even justified or just an example of a bias towards looking like one is doing something” straight away. That was how things started. With a lie and a politically motivated CYA overreaction. The lockdowns in hindsight seem to have caused more harm than they prevented. I think masks and vaccines were decent and underrated though, although sadly the vaccines lost efficacy fast as COVID kept mutating. The lockdowns were an abomination.
