Think about what you said.

Masks and lockdowns (and vaccinations) HAVE worked which is why more people are dying of the common cold, flu, etc, than Covid.

With most of the UK population now vaccinated and a high level of immunity in place, the masks and lockdowns will no longer be officially required in the UK from 19th July.

Main stream media do seem to be publishing inconsistent and conflicting data and misinformation.
I guess it depends on which scientist they consult and how much he is paid to support the narrative they are pushing.




Flu Has Disappeared Worldwide during the COVID Pandemic

The public health measures that slow the spread of the novel coronavirus work really well on influenza



Since the novel coronavirus began its global spread, influenza cases reported to the World Health Organization have dropped to minuscule levels. The reason, epidemiologists think, is that the public health measures taken to keep the coronavirus from spreading also stop the flu. Influenza viruses are transmitted in much the same way as SARS-CoV-2, but they are less effective at jumping from host to host.
As Scientific American reported last fall, the drop-off in flu numbers was both swift and universal. Since then, cases have stayed remarkably low. “There’s just no flu circulating,” says Greg Poland, who has studied the disease at the Mayo Clinic for decades. The U.S. saw about 600 deaths from influenza during the 2020–2021 flu season. In comparison, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there were roughly 22,000 deaths in the prior season and 34,000 two seasons ago.
