**This study came from John Hopkins- very main stream.**

[Washington Times](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jan/31/lockdowns-had-little-or-no-impact-covid-19-deaths-/)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> **Lockdowns in the U.S. and Europe** had little or **no impact in reducing deaths from COVID-19,** according to a [new analysis](https://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/iae/files/2022/01/A-Literature-Review-and-Meta-Analysis-of-the-Effects-of-Lockdowns-on-COVID-19-Mortality.pdf) by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.

> The lockdowns during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID mortality by about 0.2%, found 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.**
> 
> **“Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument,” the paper concluded.**
> 
> Early on, many states and 186 countries imposed bans on work, socialization, in-person schooling, travel and other restrictions to limit the spread of the disease, citing recommendations by top health experts.
> 
> 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.**
> 
>  **“Overall, we conclude that lockdowns are not an effective way of reducing mortality rates during a pandemic,** at least not during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic,” they wrote.

**A ‘no shit sherlock’ study. One only has to take a good look around at the state of things. It’s apparent. Obvious. Blatant. In your face.**

Like a sledgehammer against the populace.**

**One must conclude the destruction you’re bringing down is intended.**
