Lockdowns reduced COVID-19 death rate by just .2%, Johns Hopkins study finds
A study from a prestigious university concluded that lockdowns, which devastated the economy, barely reduced COVID deaths and “should be rejected out of hand.”
Public health officials and other political leaders forced millions of Americans out of work and shut down major parts of the economy — and if this study is to be believed, there was minimal benefit.
“Lockdowns during the first COVID-19 wave in the spring of 2020 only reduced COVID-19 mortality by .2% in the U.S. and Europe, according to a Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of several studies,” Fox News reported.
"We find little to no evidence that mandated lockdowns in Europe and the United States had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality rates," the researchers wrote.
Meanwhile, people were put out of work and problems like depression, suicide and alcoholism increased, while people like Fauci were heralded as experts and heroes.
The lockdowns were great for wealthy corporations like Amazon but were crushing for small businesses that had to lay off workers and either shut down or reduce services.
Anti-lockdown Americans on Twitter spoke out about the study findings.
Should Fauci be fired immediately for his role in promoting lockdowns? Should we have ever locked down in the first place? Is it time to get back to normal? Let us know below!
