The key issue with the Great Barrington Declaration and similar efforts was never about the policy per se, it was the absurd pretence that we could have enormous COVID-19 outbreaks without cost This was clearly never true

We had more than sufficient evidence by mid-2020 (and earlier) that large COVID-19 outbreaks come with an associated cost. People desperately wanted this to be untrue, despite the very clear reality

We also had massive evidence on the immense harms caused by lockdowns...yet they persist.

What harms can be definitively linked to lockdowns that are entirely unrelated to the pandemic itself?

Nearly everything is related to the pandemic. On that I hope all agree. Lockdown harms exceeded the "benefit" and violated basic human rights in the process.

Which harms? Serious question, no joke, what evidence demonstrates that these harms are due specifically to lockdowns and could not be attributed to the socio-economic fallout of a pandemic

Are you asserting that there were zero missed cancer diagnosises?

How many missed cancer diagnoses would have occurred without government action? We know it is not zero, given the strong evidence that high case numbers cause avoidance of healthcare services, so what's the cost that can be explicitly attributed to govt action?
