CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo completely avoid Johns Hopkins study finding COVID lockdowns ineffective
Fox News ^ | 02/04/2022 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

According to a Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of several studies, lockdowns during the first COVID wave in the spring of 2020 only reduced COVID mortality by .2% in the U.S. and Europe.

"While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted," the researchers wrote. "In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument."

However, the Johns Hopkins study received no mention on any of the five liberal networks this week. According to Grabien transcripts, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored the anti-lockdown findings after having spent much of the pandemic shaming red states with minimal restrictions and events deemed by critics as "superspreaders."

It wasn't just the networks avoiding the study. The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, Reuters, USA Today, Axios, Politico among other outlets also turned a blind eye to the findings, according to search results.

Does anyone know what a meta-analysis is?

It's an analysis done using the results of other, previously published work as input data. So, it's a multi-study review.

Pandemic was introduced to kill off the sick...Lots of sick people have died waiting for room at a hospital...Now they die if unvaccinated....Either way, the progressive scum are wiping out part of the population they hate......

I give no more credence to the 500,000 under Biden than to the 400,000 under Trump. Died “OF” and died “WITH” were combined to give more frightening numbers. Fear is the RATs stock in trade. And there were the financial incentives to call everything that they could get away with COVID...follow the money.

I agree, but once they make up these fake #’s to hurt Trump and claim he has blood on his hands....then those same numbers that are now higher under Biden should be a stain on his reputation as he had the supposed magic vaccines.

The Covid 19 Lockdowns may have made it worse!

They locked you in your home!
They destroyed THOUSANDS of small businesses!
They kept you out of church!

And for what?

Absolutely nothing.

This should be the number one headline story every where, but it isn’t.
