Lockdowns are typically portrayed as prudent precautions against Covid-19, but they are surely the most risky experiment ever conducted on the public. From the start, researchers have warned that lockdowns could prove far deadlier than the coronavirus. People who lose their jobs or businesses are more prone to fatal drug overdoses and suicide, and evidence already exists that many more will die from cancer, heart disease, pneumonia, and tuberculosis and other diseases because the lockdown prevented their ailments from being diagnosed early and treated properly.
Yet politicians and public-health officials conducting this unprecedented experiment have paid little attention to these risks. In their initial rush to lock down society, they insisted that there was no time for such analysis—and besides, these were just temporary measures to “flatten the curve” so as not to overwhelm hospitals. But since that danger passed, the lockdown enforcers have found one reason after another to persevere with closures, bans, quarantines, curfews, and other mandates. Anthony Fauci, the White House advisor, recently said that even if a vaccine arrives soon, he does not expect a return to normality before late next year.
He and politicians like New York governor Andrew Cuomo and British prime minister Boris Johnson profess to be following “the science,” but no ethical scientist would conduct such a risky experiment without carefully considering the dangers and monitoring the results. After doing so, a group of leading researchers this week called for an end to the experiment. In a joint statement, the Great Barrington Declaration, they predicted that continued lockdowns will lead to “excess mortality in years to come” and warned of “irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”

They are complete insanity!
Lockdowns mean POWER.
It is blocking our immunity.
Its like living in a Dystopian Science Fiction nightmare
“...the most risky experiment ever conducted on the public”
This was no ‘experiment’. It was a test. A test of the American Peoples’ willingness to blindly comply with restrictive government policies and demands.
We failed the test...
Please dis-include me from your group and refrain from speaking for me in the future. Thanks!
Agreed. Next up: mandatory vaccinations.
No Vaccine,
You Get the Showers!
I’m hoping that President Trump’s quick recovery from the virus will undermine the climate of fear that has driven the public to comply with the lockdowns and mask mandates.
Does anyone recall encountering the term “lockdown” prior to 2020? If so, it probably had to do with a prison.
The real test here is...who fights and who allows themselves to live with a face muzzle, might as well become Iron Masks. ...
“...hoping that President Trump’s quick recovery from the virus will undermine the climate of fear ...”
As announced today, Trump now has anti-bodies. So, in a very real sense he can now claim:
“I AM the cure!”
Yes, please.
“Irreparable Damage!”
.
I’m thinking of the kids
Growing up with these
Memories. No smiling faces
Just Panicked Adults waiting in line to buy
Toilet Paper and empty
Shelves !

what was the reason....
After seven freaking months ??? Remember 15 days to slow the spread ?? Then another 30 ??
Total complete. Demoncrap bullcrap
“No Vaccine,
You Get the Showers!”
Or maybe they spray the vaccine on us from the air. Contrails!
I’d call City Journal a magazine, like National Review or American Spectator. It is not the personal blog of the author, Tierney.
There it Is!
