The evidence that lockdowns failed keeps piling up.

While it does it in kind of a round about way, this collection of data shows that lockdowns don't work, or at least haven't so far. First, it shows that more restrictive lockdowns are correlated with higher unemployment. Second, it shows that more restrictive lockdowns do not result in fewer deaths on average, or more specifically that more restrictive lockdowns are not correlated with fewer deaths.

While we all know that correlation is not the same as causation, it's difficult to come up with any other conclusion other than lockdowns don't work. At least not on average. If you want to look to the science then looking at the actual data in real life examples would seem to be most instructive.
