They would have worked if we took them seriously.

"They never would have worked" is a lie told by people unwilling to shoot violators.

We could have ended it through a (relative to the length of the still ongoing pandemic) short period of massive testing and quarantine, like what Vietnam did.

Instead white people had to be waited on by wage employees so their could feel important and now millions of people are permanently disabled.

Also all the deaths.

Nope, covid was way too widespread, and exists in multiple animal species, meaning it can easily jump back to humans even if we got rid of it in our populations (which would never have happened).

In all of human history we've eliminated a single disease, Smallpox, and it doesn't spread through the air. Yet you think a few weeks lockdown would have actually gotten rid of a far more transmissible airborne illness? Get real.
