But aren't we talking here about the impact of lockdowns on children? I don't think anyone disputes that in order to stop an airborne disease then you stop people mixing - without doubt, according to the science of that, the best thing to do was to have a strict lockdown from March 2020 until we were all vaccinated?

It was always about balance and isn't this discussion about the counter side to that policy? That's not to say lockdowns were wrong (although I do think they went on too long and after the first one another approach was needed?) but more a recognition and respect for those who have been negatively impacted?
