Bravo. As I remember. Please consider adding the conflict of interests in the virus's creation, i.e., Fauci leading the response to the very problem, he the lead covidian, helped create; and conflicts in treatment where many hospitals become death traps because they are awarded more for ineffective "covid protocols", even deaths, than keeping patients alive. I personally had to grab my spouse and extract her from the emergency room before she disappeared into a "no visitation" covid ward.
Please recognize the countless people of courage willing to endure firings, delicensing, ostracism, censorship and more to defend their right to choose, and in the case of doctors, to provide patients effective treatment. And do not forget that hero German doctor who appears to have developed an actual vaccine that worked, on his own, at his own personal risk and that of volunteers, following principles of immunology applicable to other vaccines.

People like Fauci falsely claiming that vaccinated people are a "dead-end to the virus".
"When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community," Fauci said. "In other words, you become a dead end to the virus. And when there are a lot of dead ends around, the virus is not going to go anywhere. And that's when you get a point that you have a markedly diminished rate of infection in the community."

I think loss of lower peripheral vision causing old people to trip, fall, and break bones is another serious downside. Of course masks also mess with basic emotions that depend on facial cues.

They lost me at #2. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on #1, though it’s clear in hindsight that was a mistake. The lesson I learned from it was to *never* surrender an inch of arbitrary power to today’s government. It’s laced with too many authoritarians who are willing to take and run with it. Once they reneged on the 15 day commitment, though, I knew we’d been suckered.
I’ve been reading Scott Atlas’ book, and it’s helped me a lot to understand what happened in 2020. For all his talk about “draining the swamp,” Trump delegated Covid authority to the worst elements of the bureaucracy (especially Dr. Birx, but also some from his own more trusted staff) to set policy, even when it went against his own better instincts. One of my takeaways from it was that the existing leadership of the civil service has been more deeply infiltrated by powerlifting incompetents than even I had suspected, and that none of them can be trusted any longer.
I got deeply suspicious of Fauci the moment he said his reason for not recommending masks was to save them for doctors who needed them.
I have noticed a pattern though. While the measures taken under Trump were bad, it does seem that the CDC has become even more brazen under Biden----that could just be that they are getting more and more brazen and Biden came after Trump, but I wonder whether they feel emboldened with sleepy Joe in office.

Also "there's no downside to wearing a mask".

When they immediately dismissed, attacked, and lied about Hydroxychloroquine.

#1. As soon as the regime ordered a mass crime against humanity as a "public health" measure, I knew this was not about health.
