 we had freedom and their forced vaccines and lockdowns werent working. 

We had the opposite experience here. Schools were closed, people worked from home (which is a whole other thing here now, people loved it and so did most employers and much of it has continued.) There was only a small segment of society here who opposed it. Generally speaking, it worked well and our state didn't have the number of hospitalizations and deaths that other states experienced. Masks were still required in many places (state run) as recently as January and I still see people in enclosed places who are masked up.
