You are forgetting that lockdowns only slow the virus - they do not eliminate it. It’s going to pass through the same number of people in the end.

Fortunately, the new vaccines are providing benefits for us that we did not have before, making lockdowns a more viable solution than they were before.
I can’t forget something that isn’t true (along the same lines as your previous untrue statement "they were all going to die anyway, they’re just dying sooner").

The whole point of the lockdowns were reduce the spread of the virus, reducing the impact on the NHS, and giving time for vaccines to be developed, and then the vaccine stops the virus affecting those vaccinated.
