Leftist nazis are still ignoring the science and defending lockdowns-unbelievable

[Anonymous]

Lockdowns have been an unmitigated disaster. But, it is becoming more clear that may have the goal.



They Are Still Defending Lockdowns



Fifteen years ago, writers schooled in computer science began to imagine various totalitarian schemes for pandemic control. Experienced public health officials in 2006 warned that this would lead to disaster. Donald Henderson, for example, went through the whole list of possible restrictions, shooting them down one by one.



Since April 2020, scholars have observed that these lockdown policies haven't worked. The politicians preached, the cops enforced, citizens shamed each other, and businesses and schools did their best to comply with all the strictures. But the virus kept going with seeming disregard for all these antics.



Neither oceans of sanitizer, nor towers of plexiglass, nor covered mouths and noses, nor crowd avoidance, nor the seeming magic of six feet of distance, nor even mandated injections caused the virus to go away or otherwise be suppressed.



The evidence is in. Restrictions aren't associated with any particular set of virus mitigation goals. Forty studies have shown no connection between the policy (egregious violations of human liberty) and the intended outcomes (diminishing the overall disease impact of the pathogen).



You can forget about "causal inference" here because there is an absence of correlation between policy and outcomes at all. You can do a deeper dive and find 400 studies showing that the impositions of basic freedoms didn't achieve the intended result but instead produced terrible public health outcomes.



The two years of the hell into which hundreds of governments simultaneously plunged the globe achieved nothing but economic, social, and cultural destruction. Very obviously, this realization is shocking and suggests a crying need for a reassessment of the power and influence of the people who did this.



This reassessment is happening now, all over the world.



The most recent meta-analysis from Johns Hopkins University (Jonas Herby of the Center for Political Studies in Copenhagen, Denmark, Lars Jonung of Lund University, and Steve Hanke of Johns Hopkins) seems to have achieved some measure of media attention. It focuses in particular on the effects of heavy interventions on mortality, finding little to no relationship between policies and severe disease outcomes.



Lockdown policies are easily marketed to political players who might get a power rush from the exercise. But, in the end, Henderson's prediction was correct: These interventions turned a manageable pandemic into a catastrophe.



It's a sure bet, however, that lockdown proponents will be in denial at least for another decade.

Closing in class learning, masking, and suspending extracurricular activities were the worst part of lockdowns.

No... the worst part has been not allowing healthy people to work. Everything else flows down to the kids...

The worst part was not being able to attend my dying mother in a CA nursing home.  And the suffering she endured from the lockdowns.

No offence, but us adults expect to die. The kids expect to live.



We're meant to die before our children and grandchildren.



Sorry for your mum's suffering.

You're an unemployed bum with a gimp son.

LOL!

Just my personal worst part story.  

The overall worst part is certainly on the kids and their future.

There has been a great many problems in all parts of society since the virus appeared  initially



How it has affected  children, especially as you mention is shameful

My dad died in an Oregon hotel room in 2004. The maid found him the following morning in an armchair surrounded by snotty tissues.



He had told his business partner to go on ahead because he was feeling under the weather and would catch up later.



Obviously, that never happened....



But he was only 58 years young. Us 5 kids were shocked by it.



Cause of death got dragged out by many months until they just said it was natural.



Natural isn't a cause of death. Natural is what they say when they can't work out a cause of death in somebody under 60....



But my dad would have leaped into death first rather than let any of us go before him.





And I feel the same way about my own....

I know everybody has a story how lockdowns sucked for them personally. This was the first pandemic world leaders have ever had to deal with. In many cases they got conflicting bad advice from top medical experts.

[Frood]

They had 2008-2009....

Ya, that is messed up. I went along with the lockdowns for a while anyway. They are sheer insanity.
