Well whether we “needed” three lockdowns is a matter of opinion.

Also the fact that we have had 10.5M recorded cases in the U.K. and probably a more accurate figure many multiples of that and only 146K deaths.

Perhaps the reason COVID is ultimately a very survivable illness is due to a level of pre-existing population immunity gained by exposure to other less harmful coronavirus?
