Also Australia ended their lockdowns in October and are now have only a few restrictions, though they do have some of the highest per capita case numbers in the world now.

Seriously, isn't it a rule 101 of politics that "liberal democracies" can still do highly illiberal things?

This. And people have to start knowing that, because some "liberal democracies" are more illiberal than literal dictatorships.

Like you can literally have a liberal democracy and carry on a genocide if the genocide has a majority of the popular support and if the separation of power fails to prevent such things, like agree with the genocide...

Technically you can have fair & free elections... if the people agree with the genocide.

It's incredibly offensive to compare a policy that's about saving lives to genocide.
