Yes it is. In addition it also prevents the renewal of familial bonds, burying old wounds, and coming together to remember what we are thankful for. Masks and lockdowns divide us. They are designed to make us suspicious of others and look with fear on them. It prevents you from seeing the humanity behind a smile or a friendly face. It turns people into the NPC meme; grey faced, identical, and replaceable.

At dinner with your extended family you can share information unfiltered by the tech overlords. Real news, conspiracies, opinions, all can be openly and freely discussed and debated in a civilized fashion.

These lockdowns are not just about breaking apart rallies where people protest the election. It is about breaking up the history of the american people. The same as toppling statues. Remove everything that brings us together with a shared heritage and replace it with government rule. It is a hunger for power, an addiction, who's depraved and evil depths are rarely glimpsed by the rest of us who just want to live and let live.
