14. Members of extended families tend to interact even during lockdowns. But because extended families overlap other extended families in a network, infection continues to spread. This could mean lockdowns worsened things. Common sense doesn’t tell us whether it’s faster or not.

Please stop trying to deploy logic and common sense against an approach that was intended to increase the market penetration for a specific remedy--mRNA vaccinations--that was developed by a specific set of entities, who benefitted in a specific way as an outcome, massive loot.
By a different method, I proved that government-imposed lockdowns failed to reduce deaths from all causes, but also lockdowns were correlated with significantly higher total deaths from all causes.

That evidence was available by mid-2020. After that, there was no excuse for any more lockdowns.
