Lockdowns in the U.S. and Europe had little or no impact in reducing deaths from COVID-19, according to a new analysis by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
The lockdowns during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID-19 mortality by about 0.2%, said the broad review of multiple scientific studies.
“We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote.
But the research paper said lockdowns did have “devastating effects” on the economy and contributed to numerous social ills.
“They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report said.
Researchers at the Imperial College London, for example, predicted that such steps could reduce death rates by up to 98%. That never happened, according to the new study by researchers Steve Hanke, Jonas Herby, and Lars Jonung at Johns Hopkins.

There will be another study saying they work....Like global warming...
Tell that to the Italians or elders in NU
Putting covid folks into old folks retirement and health facilities and not allowing the elderly to leave sure did have an impact on covid deaths, though.
hmmm... where did i hear that the cure was worse than the disease... who said that?
By forcing people to isolate, they compromised the immune systems of millions resulting in millions of unnecessary deaths. If there had been no lockdowns, no vaccines and no masking, this would have been over a year ago.
Worked as well as the Vax.
It was fairly obvious, early on, that the virus would do it’s business, no matter what we did.
Duh.
It was a power trip 🤪
Surprise 🙄
Submission and impacting of the peasants was the point.
Amazing that with trillions spent on college degrees and most all going thru k-12 we handled this so pathetically stupid. Like any virus we should have reinforced having people who felt ill stay home until they felt better, typically up to a week for a flu like virus. Don’t breath all over people, so have good ventilation and avoid crowded inside spaces.
Stay healthy, eat well, get enough sleep, exercise, try not to be obese, etc.
The governments that had the lockdowns should be locked up for 2 years
The real point of the lockdowns was to destroy the economy to help force Trump out of office. Worked beautifully for them.
It was all kafka, all kabuki theater. We all knew it back then but were called conspiracy nuts. We were kicked off twitter and censored on facebook.
The only difference is now the “correct type” people are saying it.
Gates, Fauci and the others behind this should be publicly executed after a tribunal
these monsters need to be stopped before they come up with an even more deadly virus to release on us
the politicians are just useful idiots in this extortion racket
Ha! "Experts"! That right there guarantees that the entire thing, whatever it is, is going to be a complete disaster of stupidity and ignorance.
Say it ain’t so, but yeah, let’s keep mandating lockdowns!? /s
the mega rich elites behind this should be hanging in the streets like Mussolini
its why I have lost all respect for Trump, he was all in on this and still is , so he is either a useful idiot or invested in it
