That the pandemic caused suffering, is without question.
The question is whether the measures deployed to combat it caused more harm, overall, than good.
In the UK, children died during lockdown, who may have lived had they been in regular contact with school who could have noticed abuse.
Cancer patients found their cancer could have been caught earlier.
Mental health conditions have surged amongst young people, including those such as anorexia.
There was never a public debate on the full picture. It was either support every, often illogical, policy, or you're labelled as an "antivaxxer" or "granny killer".
