Massive Johns Hopkins study: Lockdowns, masks, closures did NOT reduce death

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of thousands of studies to determine whether or not there is empirical evidence to support the belief that "Lockdowns" reduce COVID-19 mortality.

The meta-analysis, titled "A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality," began by identifying 18,590 studies that potentially could support the belief that lockdowns reduce COVID-19 mortality.

They found lockdowns in Europe and the United States reduced COVID mortality by only 0.2% on average and shelter-in-place orders by an average of 2.9%. There was no "Broad-based evidence" showing non-pharmaceutical interventions had any noticeable effect on COVID mortality.

96%. 4%. Blind to collateral harmsThe conclusions by the Johns Hopkins researchers are consistent with other studies of hard data from around the world showing the lockdowns and other severe mitigation measures didn't stop the typical waxing and waning of a respiratory virus pandemic.

As WND reported in December, the CDC warned that measles has become a growing global threat because of disruptions to childhood vaccinations caused by the lockdowns.

In an interview in October on the "Uncommon Knowledge" podcast with Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution at Stanford, he said the unintended consequences of the lockdowns are immense.

The lockdowns favored the rich, the "Laptop class," he said, who had one-third the death rate of the poor.
