New study: lockdowns didn’t work; A new study from Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics destroys big-government arguments for lockdowns.

A little over a year ago, I wrote,

[I]t is now clear that, whatever health risks the Wuhan virus presents, they pale in comparison to the social, mental, economic, and spiritual carnage wrought by the foolish political actions -- and subsequent foolish private actions -- that tragically followed the Wuhan virus into the U.S. As many warned, including President Trump, for the Wuhan virus, the “cure” has indeed been worse than the disease.
In other words, most of the suffering in America today is not due to the Wuhan virus, but rather to our foolish and widespread reaction to the Wuhan virus. The shutdowns, the lockdowns, the mask mandates, and the like have done little to nothing to stem the tide of the Wuhan virus. Instead, these unwise measures have brought unprecedented suffering -- including stress, debt, financial ruin, depression, illness, and death -- to tens of millions of Americans.

“A Literature Review and Meta-analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality," a new “systematic review and meta-analysis” of numerous lockdown studies validates my -- and many others’ -- conclusions. The study concludes that “lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality.” Specifically, the study, published by Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, found that “lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average. SIPOs [‘shelter in place orders’] were also ineffective, only reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9% on average.”

Additionally, this study reveals that, while “lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted.

RE: “Vaccines” don’t work.

Actually, the claim now is the Vaccines DO work — to minimize the severity of illness if you get infected and to prevent death.

You will likely see this argument presented to anyone who points out that they do not prevent Covid transmission.

A “vaccine” is a thing which prevents transmission.

A “therapeutic” is a medicine which minimizes the severity of illness if you get infected and may help to prevent death.

People say “Measles vaccines are mandated”. And maybe that’s fine.
But we do not have a COVID vaccine. What we mandated is a therapeutic like aspirin for fevers. Only, this therapeutic is killing people and increasing transmission.

There has been no - repeat, no - evidence that having the vaccine in any way either shortens the duration or reduces its severity. The fact that there are “breakthrough” infections occurring AFTER the mRNA injections have been followed and completed, along with booster shots, should throw a LITTLE shade on that assumption.

Early treatment of the disease, with monoclonal antibodies, the ivermectin treatment, or the hydroxychloroquine-zinc-azithromycin protocol, is the sure way of stopping the spread of the disease, and there has been no recognition of the very obvious superiority of a much longer-lasting immunity acquired by recovery from COVID-19 Wuhan virus.

Someday all this misinformation, much of which is coming from CDC and that overpaid and contradictory little gnome, Dr. Tony Fauci, will be sorted out and the real replicable facts will become known.

Yes, they did work.

They permitted the mailin voting corruption that corrupted every 2020 election. That was one of the goals.

Another goal was to preferentially destroy small businesses. 1st,they don’t contribute as many $$$ as big outfits. More important, they are run primarily by non-liberal (aka not commie trash) folk who weigh risk/benefit on daily basis — not a commie trash skill set. That makes them primarily conservative. Destroying them is a priority.

3rd, they taught all citizens that you can be controlled, like puppets. And, you will like it.

This study is not from JHU’s Medical people.

It specifically, came from Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics.

They found that “lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average. SIPOs [‘shelter in place orders’] were also ineffective, only reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9% on HU’s.

The medical people at JHU still believe in and push vaccines, lockdowns and other Covid B$! They get paid for pushing that B$!

This economic study doesn’t change anything with JHU’s medical stances/edicts re Covid.

“Actually, the claim now is the Vaccines DO work — to minimize the severity of illness if you get infected and to prevent death.”

(I realize you know all this below, but others refuse to listen)

Yes this is the new narrative, but it’s too little too late.
The evidence of the destruction these vaxxines cause just continues to mount and is starting to break through to the public.

Also the evidence that the vaxxines DON’T WORK and that a vast majority of the hospitalized are FULLY VAXXINATED and that THEY are the ones SPREADING Covid, is becoming undeniable.
