But you have to admit they were a pretty important few months considering the circumstances.

Not really, if you look at outcomes. IIRC it was at most six weeks and UK mortality did decline faster in early 2021 but from a higher level. It was lower than many EU countries for about six months but has been consistently higher since summer 2021.

Since then, of course, we've seen the limits of the efficacy of the vaccines, especially in the older population, which is why most countries are reverting to established endemic procedures.
