school closures.

We have managed other devastating viral epidemics successfully using what I said above (isolate the high risk patients only and let herd immunity develop in the low risk). H1N1 is a good example.

The initial Shut Down for COVID was for a plausible reason (to "blunt the curve" to prevent flooding of hospitals - esp when there weren't enough ventilators early on. BUT after a short time, that reason was past....yet Fauci et al wouldn't give the ok to start our lives back up after this goal was achieved.
The low risk people should have been allowed to resume their lives (especially schools) while high risk people were isolated. In fact, even when there was a vaccine which clearly lowered the danger of death to high risk patients and medical management got better, Fauci et al would not stop the Shut Down.
It took DeSantis in Florida bucking the Fauci crap without suffering the supposed consequences for the country to finally say, "enough!".

Because we did not follow our usual protocols, our country suffered not just the damage from the epidemic, but even more long term damage from the Shut Down itself. Sweden avoided much of the Shut Down damage by following real scientific studies free of political influence.

And now we have a large group of people distrusting of our medical system because it was clearly politicized. What can you say to convince these people to get a good vaccine (for example measles)...it's a long, uphill talk, and it frequently goes nowhere.
They were lied to, and they know it. And we all know it too.
I will say it again:
Anthony Fauci harmed more people than any doctor in the history of the world, and it is not even close. His Autopen pardon was despicable.
