As sad as you usually are, you should reflect on the fact that wearing a mask and social distancing prevented influenza infections.

 Then why the lockdowns and vaccine mandates?

that problem. End of story.

Vaccine mandates came after the influenza season was prevented from doing it's usual damage.  Covid lockdowns were minimal and were not employed effectively, and there was never any need for influenza lockdowns.  By the time we had covid vaccines and there were covid vaccination mandates from some employers, the public had had enough of masking and social distancing, and they began to be disregarded. Influenza came back the next season.
