A new study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University reveals COVID lockdowns prevented only a small number of deaths caused by the virus.
The authors reviewed 24 separate studies and broke them into three groups: Lockdown Stringency Index Studies, Shelter-In-Place Order Studies, and Specific Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention Studies.The numbers suggest lockdowns in Europe and the United States reduced the COVID-19 mortality rate by only an average of 0.2%.Researchers did find that lockdown orders caused enormous economic and social costs wherever they were implemented.
The authors concluded that lockdown policies are"ill-founded" and suggested they be rejected in future pandemics.On their website, Johns Hopkins says the views expressed in the report are those of the authors and not necessarily the university.
