> Your claim was that "lockdowns" did little or nothing

I still stand by that claim. Compared with alternative, less restrictive measures, lockdowns achieve very little, especially when considering the massive downside they come with.

Like you said, lockdowns were justified in early 2020 when we knew very little about COVID-19. Later, though, they amounted to nothing more than authoritarian virtue signalling.

> Nobody (other than you) has mentioned reinstating lockdowns.

Not explicitly. More often than not that's what people mean when they're saying that politicians have given up on fighting Covid.
