One thing I'm finding increasingly interesting is how many people will argue that lockdowns kill without citing any evidence at all that this is the case
As an example of this, many people will still assert that lockdowns are causing a huge wave of suicides, despite this not being the case in most places that have investigated the question

Why, sadly the false tweet that is asking people to retweet/copy that suicides are up 200% since Covid. Patently false but hard to stop people from retweeting that garbo.

Domestic violence rates kind of speak for themselves here. Lockdowns are harmful- what’s needed is a debate that recognises this alongside halting spread of COVID
-
Many people claim they are really worried about this but they do not worry about the 100s of thousands of deaths in the same way. They do not weight each of these things to the extent that we know about actual deaths vs speculation and hypothesis

They keep citing studies that modeled surges in TB and HIV... forgetting the irony that they keep railing on early covid models but are happy to use them to prove their points and that the lockdowns are not the driver of the inc in other diseases but the virus itself.

It’s tricky. An excess of deaths could be masked by a reduction of deaths from MVA/trauma

In the UK the BBC and the Samaritans published figures that showed no change in suicide rates, as you say it's a fallacy.

But now you have apparent COVID independent trend to deal with as well.
