Pandemic Lockdowns Were Ineffective and Bad for Health – Studies Confirm

No matter how hard the “public health officials” tried to deal with the rise of the pandemic, almost nothing seemed to have worked to curb the ongoing Covid19 / Coronavirus Pandemic. Masks, social distancing, lockdowns, washing hands, vaccines and mandates… We, as a society, had never seen something like this in modern times – especially the ominous LOCKDOWNS brought upon by authoritative control of the populous. One can imagine that certain forms of lockdowns during the times of war combat and bombings would be necessary to prevent excessive civilian casualties – yet no one could see this one coming out of the blue when America and other countries throughout the world, as if conducted a copy-cat pandemic plan stemming from how paranoid China had handled it with extreme measures, thus sending a huge ripple effect through the whole world that was not prepared enough to deal with not just the increasing Coronavirus cases and deaths but also with a MEGA-PANIC wave that was undermining the end of Covid emergency guidelines and mandates.
Among those extreme measures that had spurred everyone to jump-start the panic pandemic were the infamous Wuhan lockdowns where people at times were literally welded shut in their homes. Then, USA and other countries decided it was a good idea to “try this out” on the population without knowing all the devastating effects it was going to entail. For instance, now we know that, with a high survival rate of 99% for symptomatic Covid infections, meant that an average of 1% mortality rate did not warrant such oppressive pandemic measures as lockdowns, which became detrimental and totally unnecessary. Most drastic impact was, of course, on the economy when so many “non-essential” businesses had to close and then later could not survive due to a massive loss of revenue and residual clients. One of the most ironic things about shutting down facilities like pubic gyms & parks was that those same recreational fitness activities that were making people’s health immunity STRONGER – were not allowed to operate, thereby causing an increase in obesity morbidity, which then raised the risk of Covid mortality (national average weight gain had gone up considerably during the 2020 pandemic; even more so among those who were already overweight driving up the obesity rate even further, putting those people at high risk for chronic illness & death) – all in addition to Vitamin D deficiency that was also prevalent during the year 2020 because of people spending too much time inside (with no sun exposure) plus, an overall poor diet AND lack of exercise on top of lessened oxygen from wearing masks & rebreathing mask pathogens unsuspectedly, which ALL resulted in a drastic influx of sick people flocking to hospitals.
Numerous scientific studies were reviewed at Johns Hopkins University. Researchers found that in 2020, the initial phase pandemic lockdowns reduced the Covid-19 death rate only by about 0.2%. The researchers stated, “We found no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures and limited public meeting had a significant effect on Covid-19 mortality.”
Other factors that made the pandemic worse WITH the draconian lock-downs were that fact that during the lockdowns and extreme social distancing, in 2020, there was a RISE in alcohol consumption by about 14% and an evident spike in Anxiety / Depression, Suicides, Low Vitamin D, Comfort / Junk Food Toxicity, Financial Stress / Bankruptcies, Break-ups / Divorces and Domestic Violence… By a certain point in 2021, Doctors & Scientists had learned that anxiety & depression actually INCREASED the chances of Covid morbidity by 28% suggesting another negative link related to pandemic lockdowns and irrational paranoia over the “virus spreading and killing lots of people and that supposedly no one was immune to it”, which now we know is a false misinformation propagated by the mainstream media at the time via the clueless public health politicians.
Let’s imaging a DIFFERENT world where instead of lockdowns, public health EXPERTS (no politicians and quagmires) would tell you to “go outside” and “get some fresh air” and “get more Vitamin D” from the sun or supplements and “keep exercising to BOOST your immunity naturally” and “eat a healthy diet” to decrease the cytokine inflammation / toxicity that was causing more premature deaths from Covid19. And last, they should have told us “STOP wearing those silly masks! Otherwise you will get Hypoxia (low oxygen levels) and Hypercapnia (carbon dioxide poisoning), which were ALL contributing factors toward enabling MORE severe Covid cases / hospitalizations deaths… Why didn’t anyone peace it together for us back then so we could avoid all this pandemic lockdowns and Covid mandates mess?..
Looking back 2 years from the onset of the so-called Pandemic (or “Feardemic”) – it was not worth all the extreme, INEFFECTIVE fascist-like measures that were taken in order to scare everyone into submission to conform with social isolation & lockdowns, suffocating masks, cytotoxic vaccines / experimental treatments, expensive medications / profiteering schemes and even the ventilator machines that were causing more lung damage and MORE early deaths!
