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.

20 years from now the Democrats will probably say the Democrats never wanted the lockdowns. It was the Republicans.
Most of the lockdowns probably did happen under Trump but R govs opened back up by the end of the year.
Fortunately for Fauci, the bus was parked at the time.
Pee Wee Herman is way smarter and only touched himself.
Surprised Penlacky did not say something like we have been far ahead of the curve, we don’t even lock down criminals.
The White House Paid Liar is going to screw herself into the ground if she keeps up the constant 180 turnarounds.
Imagine being married to her.
OMG. Brandon’s minions will say anything and don’t care how much proof there is to the contrary. They’re pathological.
Portland TV news, every night.
You can’t hurt Dr Fubar he’s indestructible 🤪
Well, if true, that’s interesting.
what gets me isn’t the lies... it’s that they SCRIPT the lies knowing that their side doesn’t care.
The Ginger Goebbels nickname fits her well.
Since we know the prog have zero credibility the "do not answer to us" thing is a two way street, no matter how much the demand that we do.
The few times (about 3) that I have gotten "Karen-ed" I don't even bother to look at them, I keep going and ignore them as I would a barking dog.
Two of the three times it was for the felonious crime of walking into a building through a wide open exit door.
They live such pathetic lives.

If most of the lock downs happened under Trump, which were not his doing, and this current administration was opposed to them, then why didn’t they lift them all as soon as xiden got sworn in?

Who asked the question? I didn’t spot that in the article.
Jen Psakiofshit just broadcasting more of Biden’s cover up lies.
The sad thing is that the legacy media will let Biden go into the midterms as “anti-lockdown”, or whatever other label Biden thinks will win votes. And the sadder thing is that a bunch of Americans will accept it.
Basically, all our media does for the evening news is just read the DNC talking points they got that same morning.
I use both, interchangeably ;-)
