Of course not.
But what "proof" do you want from the real world? There isn't anything beyond that.
The vaccine was proven- statistically- to work in controlled clinical trials.

Well no they didn't. They were "proven to work" in drastically modified versions of what is usually accepted as a controlled clinical trial.
Says some guy on an internet forum.
The numbers are out there. You have blinders on.
All plagues end eventually. If enough people get sick they become immune. But at the price of a lot of illness and death. Apparently that is what you advocate.
Plagues can also end from 'natural' social distancing. Either people are so scared that they don't go out, or so many die that the population is less dense. Are you suggesting this route?

Your childishness is sad.
I advocate that people who are at risk be careful and that healthy people go about their business.
Thank you for your input.

Some sickness and death. “A lot” is still in question, due to some sleight of numbers, and relative.
We were discussing plagues in general.
How did the Spanish Flu end?
How did the Black Plague end?
COVID, fortunately, is not as lethal as those. But it's bad.
It's hard to tell listening to the hysterical media.
To pretend that it isn't dangerous at all is as bad as pretending it's as bad as the Spanish Flu.
The shutdown was more harmful.
You have no way to know that. How much damage would there have been without a shutdown?

We cannot do a comparison between having done a shutdown and not doing one. Not in the same place and time. But tell me please, what is the logic behind the shutdown? Why would anybody think it would help?

Then quit claiming that "the lockdowns were better than no lockdowns".
It's a tremendously lopsided view to think that life destroying lockdowns were a better option than the obviously more sensible approach of protecting the vulnerable and letting everyone else live their lives.
Ah- that sounds reasonable. Who are the vulnerable? How many of them are there?

You're really do need your hand held at every moment, don't you?
