QUICK ANSWER, NO. Were the lockdowns effective at all?

But ... Science! "A potential protective effect of smoking was identified in a recent evaluation of 17 million adult patients within the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, with 5,683 COVID related deaths. In their analysis, current smokers were associated with a reduced risk of COVID-19 related mortality."

I knew I shouldn't have quit smoking. And safety nannies should shut up and go to their rooms for a loooong timeout.
