The Public Health Failure of Lockdowns By Brian Simpson
The official position here in Australia about the lockdowns is that they were lifesaving, and an overall positive benefit. It follows that when the next plandemic comes, we will see lockdowns again. Afterall, the worse states for this, Western Australia and Victoria, re-elected their lockdown premiers, indicating something fundamentally wrong there, if the lockdown were, as many have said, a disaster.
In the UK, a study by researchers from John Hopkins University and Lund University found that the UK lockdowns saved only around 1,700 lives, with there being about 11,000 deaths in the UK in an average week. The economic costs of shutting down an entire economy were enormous, and there is yet to be any public call of accountability for the harm which has been done. The crime of the century, must not be forgotten, because, the elites will repeat their performance, having got away with it once. And, next time things will be even worse.
“Lockdown saved as few as 1,700 lives in England and Wales in spring 2020, according to a landmark study which concludes the benefits of the policy were “a drop in the bucket compared to the staggering collateral costs” imposed.
Scientists from Johns Hopkins University and Lund University examined almost 20,000 studies on measures taken to protect populations against Covid across the world.
Their findings suggest that lockdowns in response to the first wave of the pandemic, when compared with less strict policies adopted by the likes of Sweden, prevented as few as 1,700 deaths in England and Wales. In an average week there are around 11,000 deaths in England and Wales.”
