Ridgewood NJ, it’s now official and beyond dispute, “settled science” as some like to spout . Lockdowns don’t work. We now have the results of the most comprehensive literature review to date on Covid lockdowns, as defined to include “any government mandate that directly restrict peoples’ possibilities, such as policies that limit internal movement, close schools and businesses, and ban international travel.”
What professors Jonas Herby, Lars Jonung, and Steve Hanke have found is consistent with what we’ve been reporting since the beginning of the pandemic:
“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.”
Same with masks, vaccines, and the entire Biden administration!
Nor do masks, vaccines, or the entire Biden administration.
But this isn’t science, it’s RELIGION
The fact that kids in school are in surgical and cloth masks is a complete joke. The data is clear – they don’t work. If they don’t work – why are they being mandated? How stupid are the people in charge?
