Most places threw in the towel when Omicron came along, it was simply too infectious for containment measures to work. However, the same mutation that increased it's spread also reduced it's lethality. The end result was approximately halving the death toll, plus delaying a lot of infections until after the vaccine was available also cut the death toll considerably. All in all millions of lives were saved by the measures you shun.
And it's not a matter of wanting the masses to be scared. Rather, the pattern I have seen again and again of people treating those they regard as good people as safe. That's been the huge chink in the armor against Covid all along. Doctors mostly got infected from coworkers, not patients because they were careful around patients and let down their guard in non-patient areas.
That's not true. Most places still had vaccine mandates with Omicron and heavily propagandized hatred and segregation.
We always knew how Natural immunizaty worked and Omicron was easy to predict, but in 2020 it was a conspiracy theory to mention natural immunity.

The halved death toll is a beautiful fabrication of yours. not at all supported by looking at excess deaths, which is another analysis that was frowned upon and ignored while implementing Draconian measures.
You didn't really saved much, you pretend you did and the excesss deaths are now more, funny that. Also, all the suicides, backlogged patients who didn't get treatment in time (cancer deaths) and the indirect deaths and lowered quality of life due to economic impact that disproportionately affects the least wealthy, that's all ignored for the hypothetical "my elephant repellent worked".

WhatsApp messages between politicians and very obvious propaganda (see NHS) Zwith people on respirators say otherwise.

I don't even know what you're talking about here.
"Letting the guard down" was always a ridiculous thing when your "guard up" is unscientific and authoritarian hygiene theater. Your politicians didn't care for it but would send the police so you would.
