As someone who advocated for what you just said from Day 1, I don’t think hindsight was necessary to make better decisions. Common sense and critical thinking became strangely unfashionable in 2020.
All excellent points, hindsight or not! One more point I would add:
Our public health "experts" woefully failed to teach people about building their immune system. Getting proper nutrition, exercise, vitamin C, vitamin D from sunlight (which most people don't get enough of because we all sit inside too much).
Whether this was by design (helping big pharma push their drugs, my opinion) or simple oversight, I don't know. I do know that our culture has been slowly pushed away from this area towards mass consumption of junk foods and weight loss "cures" and gazillion dollar fitness equipment companies
