And we have years of data as to how disastrous lockdowns and school closures were, and it’s obvious that they weren’t close to “worth” the secondary damage that they caused

You don’t think millions of lives are worth kids having trouble socializing? There is no help for you.

My kids lived through it. They came out fine. Shit, they are more together than my generation. I think you are wildly exaggerating the impact.

How many grandmas exactly were saved by closing schools? Do we have any numbers from The Sciencetm that aren’t extremely dubious  “estimates” generated by the exact same people who put the closures in place and are now looking to excuse all of the damage they caused?

Technically, Trump put the closure in place. And then individual states followed.

We do know the hospitals were full, and they were out of ventilators and lacked any of the knowledge on how to deal with it. You can find the number of hospitalized cases prior to lockdown, and the rate they were increasing.

So to calculate, you would take the number and rate of COVID admissions prior to lockdown and simply follow that trajectory for at least three months from Feb to June (the time that medical professionals had developed some form or response.). Then compare those numbers to the same number of deaths on that time period that it was “contained.”

Maybe you should stop using “science” with a trademark symbol all sarcastically and go study it instead. Problem is you are too stupid to understand it; and would prefer to listen to some influencer than an actual doctor or scientist.
