9/10 This doesn't mean that lockdowns work, or that they're perfect, or any such nonsense It doesn't even mean that they definitely don't kill people (remember, short-term)

10/10 It DOES mean that the best current evidence suggests that lockdowns in and of themselves are not associated with detectable increases in mortality They may even REDUCE deaths overall

11/10 Small addendum - lockdowns could still be bad if they saved lives, the point here is that we are completely lacking the evidence that we'd expect to find if lockdowns caused many deaths as some claim
