I'd agree in everything except that humanity did not know at the time. The WHO has had recommended plans on how to address a large scale pandemic like COVID for years and lockdowns were never even considered. Experts in many countries were actually convinced to support the lockdowns by the politicians they worked for, not the other way around. The public may not have known, but many other people did

Sweden proves that lockdowns were unecessary

Covid-19 was/is a real virus. The response was genuine, the vaccines are safe and effective. The lockdowns were way to harsh in retrospect but humanity did not know that at the time. 

This is not "brainwashed", this is just simple facts. Sometimes reality is just really boring but it's the truth.
