Certainly true, but I do not believe that was the objective or rationale behind the lockdowns.

Believe as you will but the courts do not agree with you and they have the last word.
For example:
(Some excerpts)
A Texas hospital system’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for employees can stand after a federal judge on Saturday dismissed a closely watched lawsuit from workers refusing to get the shot.
Hughes wrote that employers could impose consequences for noncompliance on all sorts of rules, far beyond vaccination.
“If a worker refuses an assignment, changed office, earlier start time, or other directive, he may be properly fired. Every employment includes limits on the worker’s behavior in exchange for his remuneration
. That is all part of the bargain.”
In the eyes of the workers, the statute on this type of FDA authorization said workers had the right to refuse taking the vaccine.
The workers had it wrong because those particular provisions didn’t give them an opening to sue, Hughes said. Besides, Hughes noted, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has said employers can require vaccination.
On June 4, Hughes said he would not block Houston Methodist from imposing a June 7 deadline for vaccination.
In a decision at the time, Hughes wrote the plaintiffs were “not just jeopardizing their own health; they are jeopardizing the health of doctors, nurses, support staff, patients, and their families.”
Do you realize how many privately owned businesses were destroyed by the lockdown, while all the globalist-owned businesses prospered at their expense?
How many landlord lost their properties because they couldn't pay their mortgages when their tenants were no longer allowed to be evicted for not paying their rent?
How many trillions of dollars Congress expended in "stimulus" payments that are going to create Weimar/Venezuela-class inflation?
Tell me you're joking! You must be joking? People that stupid would be too stupid to remember to breathe!
So it was just an accident that all the globalist businesses stayed open and all the small businesses were shut down?
What an airheaded snowflake you are.
