It’s taken much longer than it should have but at last it seems to be happening: the lockdown paradigm is collapsing. The signs are all around us.
The one-time hero of the lockdown, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, is now deeply unpopular and most voters want him to resign. Meanwhile, polls have started to favor Florida governor and lockdown opponent Ron DeSantis for influence over the GOP in the future. This remarkable flip in fortunes is due to the dawning realization that the lockdowns were a disastrous policy. DeSantis and fellow anti-lockdown governor Kristi Noem are the first to state the truth bluntly. Their honesty has won them both credibility.
The study, titled “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality,” said lockdowns in Europe and the U.S. reduced COVID-19 deaths by 0.2 percent.
Shelter-in-place orders were also ineffective, reducing COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%, the study said.
“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 in the report, issued Monday.
“Lockdowns” didn’t work and they were catastrophic
Governments, their chosen advisors and public health bodies imposed these destructive lockdowns and other non-pharmaceutical measures on populations despite knowing that these measures would never work to stop or slow the spread of a virus as they publicly claimed.
Lockdowns killed three times more people than they saved says Prof. Angus Dalgleish
Prof. Dalgleish has seen both the age-adjusted and “raw figures” for excess deaths in the UK. “I’ve seen the very raw figures and they are they are quite worrying because there’s excess deaths of the younger people going on not just in the older population but in the people under 40,” he said.
One major factor, according to Prof. Dalgleish, was lockdown. “The effect of lockdown and everything that it did, this would go on to [cause] excess deaths due to cancer and various other things because of misdiagnosis, mistreatments [etc.]” he said.
