@alexyoungberg5232 I had it and went to work. I thought my back pain was just me having slept wrong the previous night, turns out it was a fever so my body ached. Fun fact, my brother took the shot - he was sicker than me and for a longer period. What's your excuse now?

You don't know by how much the infections were slowed down, considering that the pandemic started late 2019 without we even noticing and case numbers did not correlate to mandates. Hundreds of thousands were only at risk due to early treatment being suppressed. The shot took way too long to be a simple delaying matter. It was over a year of waiting for anyone who wasn't elderly or medical staff. And the elderly should have been protected because they're the demographic most affected, while many governments pretty much purposefully infected them by corralling the sick into homes.

@call-1515 No offense but I'm weary of trusting the "if we did nothing" numbers because most of them were based off bad modelling. And again, we did allow it to ravage through the older populations unchecked - we slowed the spread down among the less vulnerable, which was both useless but also counterproductive. We will probably have 5-10 years of increased mortality due to diagnostics and early treatments we missed, not to mention the psychological and economic harm we caused. The lockdowns were not early. We have found antibodies in samples collected in late 2019 in the Americas and Europe, so the community spread was occurring months before. It's also very misleading to call them early lockdowns because everyone with half a brain or more in their head could see something was happening in Wuhan, and the authorities denied it. When it finally became impossible to put a lid on it, the WHO denied there was human to human transmission. When transmission was confirmed, the WHO denied it was airborne. When they finally admitted it was airborne they refused to call it a pandemic. I can't post images but certainly you remember it too - the media ran multiple articles saying the flu was a lot worse so don't worry about it you racist. When the lockdowns were put in place, it was beyond too late. I'm not talking about the US. I'm talking worldwide. You can't look at cases over time and place a flag on the date mandates were introduced and say they correlate to cases. You people always have an excuse. Okay, if many ignored mandates, you'd still see an effect on the numbers. Women also forget to take the pill sometimes, but as a whole birth rates kinda show we plan our kids ahead rather than have accidents all the time, know what I mean? Even with delinquency there's effects. No healthcare system is designed for the population as a whole. Which is why in every country the lockdowns were sold as a way to save their healthcare system. You think that just because something is public, scarcity doesn't exist? There's physical limits on the space available in hospitals. There's a limit to how many can get to med school and graduate. There's a limit on how much you can order be it medication or masks. Simply because the state controls healthcare, doesn't mean they get to snap their fingers and the whole population is protected. I don't know who sold you this sham that we have unlimited healthcare capacity but we don't. There's a budget every year, and it's really difficult to find the extra money in case something starts to make people fall ill all at once.

@call-1515 You implied it. By accusing the US of limited capacity you're implying the alternative is unlimited capacity. Yes, and profit motive had hospitals focus on the money train being awarded to them by the government. Yes, you do need to trust a source. What if the spread was the same with or without lockdown? We're clearly seeing what happens right now, the reinstatement of mandates is not limiting the spread of omicron at all. Which sort of gives us an indication that spread of the original variant was probably capped. You do know the fundamental science? You mean bad science, like the imperial college numbers? The mathematics? Bad mathematics? Garbage in, garbage out. If you write a garbage algorithm that has no bearing on the real world, you'll get garbage predictions. Child hospitalizations were on the rise already thanks to things like RSV.
