So much for "trusting the science".
This pandemic has taught us a few things:
-You can't trust the government.
-You can't trust so called medical "experts"
-You can't trust the media who get their "facts" from the government and medical "experts".
All they benefited from was a) being an island nation and b) closing their border before the virus was widespread.
Sure, but the majority of Covid deaths happened in early 2020 when community transmission was starting to get going - about 40 deaths in two weeks, followed by only 13 deaths in the following two years does point to how lockdowns can be effective.
So all the lockdowns, layoffs, apartment freezes and resulting bankruptcies, business closings, school closings, reducing the number of people in stores, movie theater closings.... all designed to keep us from the dreadful dangers of Covid-19.....
A Johns Hopkins study says 'ill-founded' lockdowns did little to limit COVID deaths

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have concluded that lockdowns have done little to reduce COVID deaths but have had “devastating effects” on economies and numerous social ills.
The study, titled “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality,” said lockdowns in Europe and the U.S. reduced COVID-19 deaths by 0.2 percent. “We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote in the report, issued Monday.
The study concluded that lockdowns “are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument. They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report said.

Surprise, locking us down did next to nothing to lower mortality. We all know that it is impossible to hide from germs, they’re everywhere. Our covidiot leaders scared the stuffing out of us over what has amounted to pretty much nothing. What a shame.

On top of that, the WHO (not the rock band) had a protocol in place for pandemics before the current pandemic. The plan: Don't lock down because it doesn't work.
