Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

It's important that we admit our mistakes. The study shows that early on in the pandemic that lockdowns and restrictions were only .02% effective.


We need to learn from this to better prepare for the next pandemic.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Calling it a "Johns Hopkins" study doesn't actually make it a "Johns Hopkins" study.

This working paper did make some bold claims. For example, it concluded that “lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted. In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.” By the way, what did the authors consider lockdowns? Well, according to the working paper, “lockdowns are defined as the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI).”

Holy changing definitions, Batman. By Herby, Jonung, and Hanke’s definition, even face mask requirements would be considered a “lockdown,” right? After all, face masks are a NPI since you don’t eat or inject face masks into you. Yet, how many times have your heard when wearing a mask, “how’s that lockdown of your face going?” Sure, a face mask may prevent your nose from wandering away from your face and partaking in a rave, before returning to your face in the morning. But other than that, face mask requirements really don’t restrict your ability to move away from your home. This doesn’t quite jibe with the Dictionary.com definition which describes a “lockdown” as “a security measure taken during an emergency to prevent people from leaving or entering a building or other location.” So unless you are wearing a ridiculously enormous face mask or one with BDSM chains attached to your friend, wearing a face mask shouldn’t prevent you from leaving or entering most buildings.

OK, changing definitions aside, did this working paper really provide enough evidence to support its bold claims? In a word, no. In two words, heck no. The authors claimed that they performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. That should mean that they should have considered and included all published peer-reviewed studies relevant to the topic at hand. Yet, this working paper did not include or even acknowledge many such studies that have shown the benefits of NPI’s such as face mask wearing and social distancing without explaining why the three authors excluded such studies.

Of the 34 “studies” included in the review, 12 of them were actually working papers. In fact, 14 of the “studies” were actually from economists with only one being from epidemiologist. This is odd since most of the key NPI research studies have been conducted by epidemiologists, medical researchers, and other public health experts. To qualify as a meta-analysis, a study needs to fulfill established criteria, which includes demonstrating that you’ve included all of the studies that have been published. Without providing clear evidence that you have done so, instead of “A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on Covid-19 Mortality,” would a better title of this working paper have been “Stuff that We Selected to Support Our Point of View?”

Just the title sounds like BS but the real suckers fall for it everytime.

Anything but the TRUTH

This stat doesn't push their narrative. They prefer to continually talk about infections. Even though nobody said you couldn't get infected after the vaccine.

There was no "Johns Hopkins" study. It's a paper written by three people, one who works at Johns Hopkins, and two economists.
Using criteria to produce a specific result.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Reading thru the last couple of pages on this thread is an example of what's wrong with the country. The left is arguing that lockdowns were highly effective but it was Trump who made the wise decision to lockdown the country, not Biden.

And some are referring to the latest study done as fake news that was conducted by bums.


Even Bill Maher sees that many mistakes were made and that the left refuses to acknowledge them. Liberals used to stand up to "the man", but now it seems that they worship "the man" and he can do no wrong. Just an observation.

Calling this so called "Johns Hopkins study" garbage isn't actually saying anything about whether lockdowns worked or not. All it's saying is the so called "Johns Hopkins study" isn't a real study. It was put together using criteria to produce a specific result.
