Well we've come full circle from all the data shows the lockdowns were a raging success to I don't care what the data says, the government is always right.

I've had quite enough of that malarkey.

Given what most of the research is showing these days, its good to know that governments won't make that mistake again - even if we could afford it, which due to the last lockdowns, we can't.

mhaze,

No, the lockdowns were still very effective. The total figures never mattered; I warned you this would be the case and explained why that was before you even gave them by quoting what I had said earlier.

My central points have remained consistent throughout.

We've just gone through much of the research and none of it supports your case.

If you have more research to cite, then cite it by all means. But I would find it rather odd that you didn't lead with it.
