A case for ending lockdown

I have no directly relevant credentials whatsoever and don't claim to. (I actually considered saying as such in the writeup but it's already so verbose that I felt it wasn't worth it).

This doesn't really pass the sniff test. You wrote 7500 words on this topic, but felt that including "I have zero experience in any relevant fields" would be overly verbose? Are you sure there wasn't another reason?

arguments should be evaluated on their merits, rather than credentials

It's not about credentials, it's about relevant knowledge and experience, without which it can be very difficult to actually properly evaluate the merits.
