A meta-analysis that was done at Johns Hopkins University has found that:

"The Obvious: It Was All For Nothing"

A Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of all the credible studies concerning lockdowns has found that government measures to contain covid were useless:

This meta-analysis founded that lockdowns caused incredible big economic and social costs all over the world where it was imposed by governments. It had almost no effect in reducing the spread of Covid19. It only reduces mortality with 0.2%.

Because of this finding lockdowns should be rejected‼️

The researchers from JHU’s Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise defined lockdowns broadly “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.”

Governments should have known beforehand what the devastating effects on economies and education would be. It's unbelievable that governments and leaders did not recognize this before lockdowns were imposed.

They started draconian lockdown measures unheard of in history for an impossible gain: a respiratory virus cannot be stopped, lost of lives were a looming certainty.

The researchers compared mortality rates in various states in proportion to the strictness of the lockdowns and find the following:

Hence, based on the stringency index studies, 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 use of lockdowns is a unique feature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdowns have not been used to such a large extent during any of the pandemics of the past century. However, lockdowns during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic have had devastating effects. They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy. These costs to society must be compared to the benefits of lockdowns, which our meta-analysis has shown are marginal at best. Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument.

Don't try to soften the blow in saying that it was maybe understandable for governments to do this at the onset of the pandemic. No, it was not, it was ridiculous from the beginning.

What about the people that was excluded from lockdowns? Healthcare workers, Police, Civil servants, Grocery store workers, the Supply chain workers? How were they supposed to be protected, supposed to not come into contact with their lockdown families after work? How would transmission be stopped in cramped places where people stayed in lockdown
Totally illogical from day 1.

Why was the Chinese model accepted and adopted by the world without questioning?

Since when could they be trusted? This super virus was developed in their laboratory in Wuhan.

Even the mask wearing were ridiculous then and still now. Numerous studies showed that a mask cannot stop the aerosol particles of the virus. Small children are having speech problems, and emotional problems because of mask wearing.

Governments failed miserably in this quest to protect their citizens. They knew it were the older citizens, at risk children and those with comorbidities, but they failed to protect them.

And still it's going on, lockdowns, camps for the unvaccinated, vaccine mandates. In which era do we live? The question remains if this draconian measures were really necessary in the light of the death rate?

As I said, and still it's going on, no apology from nowhere. How can we still believe the authorities?

No!!, good going Canada's truckers, let the world follow. Enough is enough.

Thank you for reading.
