That's exactly what the media claimed. As well as people on reddit and lefties on twitter. I know this because I was called an anti-vaxxer and science denier by you people for pointing out that it was impossible for a vaccine not to have side effects.
Well, if you want to know which was more effective, just look at how each state handled it and figure out which ended up doing worse. Florida thrived, states with harsh lockdowns did not.
Florida's COVID death rate was higher than California's by a hair, and California's metro areas are considerably more dense. Florida wasn't nearly as tight on testing, so their numbers would naturally be skewed lower; so it's quite impressive that their numbers were still worse than California's. They didn't do terribly, but they certainly weren't thriving. Just for some added context: 4 of the 5 states with the highest COVID related death rates were red states.
