And I thought the initial were lockdowns were dumb. They just weren't worth it and they were too difficult to enforce to be effective. Mask and vaccine mandates are reasonable approaches. It's a reasonable power for a government to have those powers when people want government guaranteed health indemnity and seat belt mandates.
There was no vaccine during the first lockdown. And there has been nothing like the first lockdown since the vaccine rollout (except in Australia where they have been glacial with the rollout.)
It's clear that the first lockdowns were clearly the appropriate response and almost every democratic nation had the same iteration of them. Since then, there has been a lot of divergence in responses which can be praised or criticised.
