Go ahead and post a study that says we saved tens of millions.

Not one intervention has been shown to reduce mortality by 50% across the general population — you’re making facts up to deny the harms caused.

No but we hsve things like Sweden with a demographic and social systems very similar to its neighbors (norway, denmark,finland) ending up with 2x the mortality of said neighbors by choosing milder interventions.

Sweden had a higher mortality at the start but ended up with the lowest excess mortality in Europe starting January 2021 [1]. The country had the lowest excess mortality overall during the SARS2 years 2020-2022 [1].

Yes. The total I quoted was on all covid deaths. If one is fine with killing twice the number of people if it happens fast, I guess you are correct.
