Major John Hopkins study finds lockdowns were a big mistake, ‘should be rejected out of hand’

A meta-analysis spearheaded by John Hopkins University has found that the economically devastating lockdowns that occurred in the spring of 2020 barely moved the needle on preventing COVID deaths.

The meta-analysis also found that most specific nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) tended to offer little benefit, save for, in it would appear, one measure.

“Studies looking at specific NPIs (lockdown vs. no lockdown, facemasks, closing non-essential businesses, border closures, school closures, and limiting gatherings) also find no broad-based evidence of noticeable effects on COVID-19 mortality,” according to the analysis.

And to make the inconvenient Hong Kong protests disappear.

Which they did.

So much for the “expertise” Fauci brought to the decision making process.

Time to as for a refund on his $440,000 annual salary.

I knew that day one.

Can I be king now?

[Grandpa Drudge]

The "name of the institution you are writing about" is Johns Hopkins University and this is a Major study by them.

I consider trolls to be sometimes humorous but mostly a distraction and waste of time and web-space in important threads.

This is almost 100% exclusively on Fauci. He told Trump that if he didn't shut everything down 20 million people were going to die, period. Trump kept wanting to open up again but lord “science” Fauci and his sycophants would have none of it. Even today, the church of the Branch Covidians demands masks, distancing, and mandated worthless vaccinations.

[Sacajaweau]

Me, too. You don't quarantine well people.

The death stats never changed from the beginning to the present.

Conversations are supposed to be fun. Mellow out.

This study will help speed up the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Spring will truly be the season of life reborn for so many.

So, where do those who ended their lives, over the COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY lock downs go, to get their lives back, POS Johns Hopkins?

Isn’t this the same outfit that had the daily China Virus case and death counts, helping to spread the fear pern?

[napscoordinator]

Good grief. Where are the editors? It’s Johns Hopkins. Pretty damn destructing from reading the article.

[Grandpa Drudge]

You say "Conversations are supposed to be fun. Mellow out."

Sorry, but I see absolutely NO fun in this deadly serious "conversation".

We have been seriously (and possibly criminally) mislead by NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins and NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci since SARS-Cov virus "gain of function" research was prohibited in year 2015. Collins and Fauci enjoyed full support of our socialist leaning deep state cabal.

This Johns Hopkins University study is one of the first serious studies that has succeeded in penetrating the (socialist - communist) propaganda and censorship screening practiced by the left. In my opinion, this is one of the most important issues in USA politics today.

Thats Mr Science

Aka Fauxci

I was making fun of the very poorly written title of the thread. Frankly, I don't give a crap whether or not you like my posts or have some idiotic believe that I need to show reverence wherever you command. I will always choose what I wish to say anywhere I please. Just do what everyone else does: Skip by the posts you don't like.

This is NOT the first serious study that had these findings.

[roving]

I went to work every day maskless. No social distancing at work. The only thing that changed in my life was having to use carryout

[jonrick46]

I say the John Hopkins report is misinformation. Here is what is being said about social distancing:

Fact-check: Is there a scientific basis for coronavirus social distancing?

I wish it were that simple for everyone. In my extended family one got vaxed only to avoid being fired, and another was actually fired for refusal to be vaxed. Worse, I have two close (elderly) friends who both developed serious heart conditions shortly after 2nd vax booster. Just saying...

[Grandpa Drudge]

You cite an article by Bill McCarthy, a staff person in PolitiFact.com. This "Fact Check" pretender organization has turned out to be not much more than a politically (deep state socialist) motivated censorship tool of the left. Neither they nor you offer ANY scientific evidence to support their judgment. The Johns Hopkins report does offer such evidence.

You are welcome to your belief, but the rest of us are free to chose who they believe, as well.

[Allegra]

Weren’t the lockdowns “suggested” by that scumbag Fauci?

[Grandpa Drudge]

Yes, along with mask and vaccine mandates, as well.
