Wittkowski is explaining what's been known in pandemic science for decades. It's just that, magically, all of the science pre-2020 is disregarded in favor of garbage like Ferguson's initial modeling on the pandemic (which the mitigation measures are based on), which severely overhype the virus in favor of the pharmaceutical industrial complex. You know, like how the [same exact thing was done over a decade ago for Swine Flu,] (https://www.bmj.com/content/340/bmj.c2912) albeit not nearly to the extent we've seen for this pandemic.
[Lockdowns were never considered to be a viable strategy.](http://www.upmc-biosecurity.org/website/resources/publications/2006/2006-09-15-diseasemitigationcontrolpandemicflu.html)
>There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread of influenza.
A World Health Organization (WHO) Writing Group, after reviewing the literature and considering contemporary international experience, concluded that “forced isolation and quarantine are ineffective and impractical.”2 Despite this recommendation by experts, mandatory large-scale quarantine continues to be considered as an option by some authorities and government officials.35,43>The interest in quarantine reflects the views and conditions prevalent more than 50 years ago, when much less was known about the epidemiology of infectious diseases and when there was far less international and domestic travel in a less densely populated world. It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration.
