> few details that were gotten wrong during the fog of war

It’s fine to have your opinion but don’t dismiss others’ experiences and values.

The extreme lockdowns caused irreparable, long-term harm to many people. You’re glossing over this as if it’s a minor error that anybody could’ve made, which is not correct.

It is essentially a trolley problem. You value “extreme intervention that is statistically better overall but unnecessarily devastating to some”, whereas many other people are happy to let nature run its course to some extent than have their government turn against them “for the needs of the many”.

That is a moral discussion, not a scientific one, and people are rightfully angry when it’s misrepresented as purely a scientific one.
