White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was confronted with a new Johns Hopkins comprehensive study that shows “lockdowns” were a comprehensive failure worldwide.
When asked about the irrefutable evidence that the lockdowns caused massive damage, but delivered no tangible benefits, Psaki went into full spin-mode.
“We’ve not been pro-lockdown — most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous President,” Psaki claimed.
The study in question is a thorough review done by Johns Hopkins university. Its results are damning.
“What does the evidence tell us about the effects of lockdowns on mortality?” We provide a firm answer to this question: The evidence fails to confirm that lockdowns have a significant effect in reducing COVID-19 mortality. The effect is little to none.
The use of lockdowns is a unique feature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdowns have not been used to such a large extent during any of the pandemics of the past century.
However, lockdowns during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic have had devastating effects. They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy. These costs to society must be compared to the benefits of lockdowns, which our meta-analysis has shown are marginal at best. Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument.
That’s as blunt a refutation of lockdowns from an academic institution as it gets.

It’s like Pee Wee Herman is running the country.
God help us all.

Lying red headed woodpecker...
Whaaaaaaattttt?….these people are insane…..
Little Red Lying Hood’s lips are moving, hands are circling, again ping.
Wow. I can’t think of a US Administration in my lifetime that actually lied like this. This is in-your-face straight-up pathological lies. These have been some pretty bad strange justifications and word-plays in the past. But this is straight up “F*** you” lying.
They can lie about anything because only Fox calls them on it.
Remember the old days when politicians and news people were honest? Me neither.
The see the Freedom Convoy and they’re scared.
Bwahahahaha, says the WH wanting to enforce a federal lockdown. PhD wafflers.
I said it a long time ago on FR.
Although it is a crude expression; the
Biden Group will lie to you like peeing on our leg and telling you it is raining out. -Tom
then STOP THEM!!!
I’ll say this, she certainly is glib:-)
Was this a flip or a flop?
un friggin believeable!
This is the reason we can’t have nice things!
“We’ve not been pro-lockdown — most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous President,” Psaki claimed.”
Blue states locked down. Red states followed the lead of Ga and Fla and opened up fast Through out the campaign, Dems mocked red states. Biden called Texas governor a Neanderthal for resisting mandates. Dems raised suspicions on Trump’s vaccine. Masks and vaccine mandates are features of blue state over reach. Schools closed in blue states. F Joe and Fauci are tied together hand and feat. Dems own the lock down disaster.
In all truth, most pro- lockdown voices have been power-hungry pols at lower levels together with chicksh*t Karens who lap up the fear and spread it around.
That’s actually funny.
These people no longer care about any pretense of credibility because they know they do not answer to us.
Absolute bullsh..
