Report Shows COVID Lockdowns Not Effective
One of the biggest pandemic blunders revealed
Other than what this new report shows is the disturbing fact that Johns Hopkins University has itself shunned the report. Seems like the establishment is not happy hearing that what governments worldwide have done to fight COVID have been largely ineffective and harmful.
The title of the report is “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality.” Of the three authors, one is from Sweden, one from Denmark, and the third is on the faculty of Hopkins.
What the report says
Here is the total abstract of the report:
“This systematic review and meta-analysis are designed to determine whether there is empirical evidence to support the belief that “lockdowns” reduce COVID-19 mortality. Lockdowns are defined as the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI). NPIs are any government mandate that directly restrict peoples’ possibilities, such as policies that limit internal movement, close schools and businesses, and ban international travel. This study employed a systematic search and screening procedure in which 18,590 studies are identified that could potentially address the belief posed. After three levels of screening, 34 studies ultimately qualified. Of those 34 eligible studies, 24 qualified for inclusion in the meta-analysis. They were separated into three groups: lockdown stringency index studies, shelter-in-place- order (SIPO) studies, and specific NPI studies. An analysis of each of these three groups support the conclusion that lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality. More specifically, stringency index studies find that lockdowns in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% on average. SIPOs were also ineffective, only reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9% on average. Specific NPI studies also find no broad-based evidence f noticeable effects on COVID-19 mortality. While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument. “
Below is a graphic summarizing the findings:
Noted physician openly condemned the way Hopkins has largely ignored the report from its own staff.
Dr. Martin Makary from the Hopkins medical faculty warned that 'people may already have their own narrative written' about the effectiveness of lockdowns in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
“Johns Hopkins itself did not even put out a press release about this study, and if you look at the media coverage, it's one of the biggest stories in the world today, and yet certain media outlets have not even covered it,” Makary told Carlson.
What Makary wanted the world to know is that economists, not medical staff, at the college carried out a meta-analysis and found that restrictions imposed in the spring of 2020 - including stay-at-home orders, compulsory masks and social distancing - only reduced COVID mortality by 0.2 percent. A very unimpressive result considering all the pain and suffering those lockdowns caused.
The study warned that lockdowns caused 'enormous economic and social costs' and concluded that they were 'ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument' going forward.
Makary said the small number of lives saved by the lockdowns doesn't come close to collateral deaths, such as those lost to lack of health care, such as patients who skipped cancer treatments.
What he was saying is that the lockdowns perhaps saved about 1,800 individuals, which is a tiny fraction of all the collateral deaths, also called "excess non-COVID mortality" in the United States.
Those excess deaths were 124,000 in year one. Or, over two years, it was about a quarter million people who died because of pandemic management, NOT COVID infetion. Makary said that 60,000 to 70,000 of them died from substance abuse, while others died from deferred cancer care, self-harm and other side effects of lockdowns.
Other than deaths, Makary also noted the number of children who fell behind as schooling moved online.
“Even in the early days of New York, we got data that was largely ignored. That 80 percent of the deaths were in people over 65, and half of them, roughly, were in nursing homes. And yet we continued to treat this as if everybody was at equal risk, and we continue to do that today. In schools, where children bear the biggest burden of the restrictions in this country. So I think the public is hungry for honesty and basic humility from public health officials.” Amen.
Nearly everyone who has examined the report agrees that it proves that Dr. Anthony Fauci and his claim that pandemic restrictions saved 'millions' lied to the public.
NEW PODCAST:
This confirms what I suspected from the beginning. In Australia people were still coming and going from overseas. I had just heard of Wuhan. Mum was still attending hydrotherapy and I said to her that this is no longer a good idea because we don’t know much and planes are still arriving from overseas. I went and grabbed stuff, toilet paper etc and cherry picking the sales for household items. I tried to buy N95 masks but they had all sold out. (the toilet paper hadn’t yet)
The N95s are really just dust masks. After inquiring about micron sizes of viruses I realised that N95 wouldn’t work anyway except to lower the viral load.
I bought some spray painting masks, ones you can customise the filters on and replace the N95 pre filters on. I bought a box of pre filters. Also good swimming goggles and polycarbonate welding glasses. I was shocked to think that industrial protection was far superior to medical protection.
I ended up with the spray painting mask, sunnies, outside only hoodie and shoes, not really worried at all unless I didn’t know what was going on. I was inconvenienced.
On YouTube I was at first following Paul Cottrel, Geert Vanden Bossche and Frances Boyle.
I learnt about gain of function and more. Amazing. This becoming increasingly like living in a science fiction world. The MSM was a bit senseless.
As it turns out, evil, controlling and self indulgent fearporn.
Then YouTube got censored, however, thanks to the tenacity of Dark Horse Podcast, Robert Malone, Geert Vanden Bossche then Trial Site News many others and yourself (thank you for your book. Glad it’s in print). The narrative was then developing cracks. Now it has busted open.
When the Great World renowned Scientists give warning of an experimental vaccine and are censored, ignored, gaslighted, invalidated and sacked for speaking out then something is seriously wrong.
It is obvious the non sterilising etc vaccines don’t work and adverse vaccine effects are real. Most infection is spread in the household. Lockdowns, fear, confusion, mass hypnosis psychosis, job insecurity, loss of friends, unwitting child abuse, family strain, substance abuse, isolation and more are co morbidities unless you are a hermit.
The planes were still allowed in with delta then omicron (two fully vaccinated).
I’m afraid they are trapped in the hole of their own making and can’t stop digging. They prepaid dodgy vaccines with no guarantee or liability protection. The vaccine mandates are most illegal.
They are now conspicuously foolish.
Denmark and Canada have are now awake! They realise the worse consequences of not saying no.
The experiment has failed. The whole narrative has failed the pub test.
