Indeed, we have in Italy politicians who claims that a lot of scientific data support their political ideas.
A common claim -not the only one- is that REACT-1 study, by @SRileyIDD, actually proves that lockdowns do not work to reduce contagion (ref. to round 8 interim analysis). https://twitter.com/alanfriedmanit/status/1385477692636676096

I don't know if @SRileyIDD has time to answer, but I can read author conclusions, which state something different:
"During the initial 10 days of the third COVID-19 lockdown in England in January 2021, prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 was very high with no evidence of decline"

Round 9 conclusion: "Community prevalence of swab-positivity has declined markedly between Jan and Feb 2021 during lockdown in England, but remains high(..). Continued adherence to social distancing and public health measures is required (...)"

I can also read this nice thread on lockdown by the author here https://twitter.com/SRileyIDD/status/1312650826305941504?s=20
