Not going to be boxed into your goal-post moving attempted gotchas. If you want to refute the scientific data I've provided, go ahead and do so.

Sorry that your highly generalized timeline and poor recall of events doesn’t align with reality.
Wasn’t aware that simple questions with simple answers were crossing a line for you.

As society, we need to listen to experts in their respective fields, and make educated decisions about the benefits and costs of policies. That was not done in this case because of the politicization of the issue from both sides. And damage was done to society because of both sides.

Except you don’t, because you’re taking one scientific finding (the vaccines are safe and effective) and using it, in combination with your own poor understanding of the timeline of events, as an attempt to trump other findings and advice from experts related to things like lockdowns, virus spread, herd immunity, etc.
School boards and teachers were also in favour of lockdowns. Should we listen to them, or… ?
You don’t need to answer, because it’s clear you just want to re-litigate COVID based on a simplistic view relying solely on the benefits of hindsight and poor recall, and that seems like it’ll get us just about nowhere.
