Major John Hopkins study finds lockdowns were a big mistake, ‘should be rejected out of hand’
February 2, 2022 | Vivek Saxena
A meta-analysis spearheaded by John Hopkins University has found that the economically devastating lockdowns that occurred in the spring of 2020 barely moved the needle on preventing COVID deaths.
A meta-analysis is a study in which researchers dig through a bunch of other studies and use all the combined data to reach one definitive conclusion.
The meta-analysis by JHU found that on average, both and shelter-in-place orders (SIPOs) applied both in the United States and Europe did not have “a large, significant effect on mortality rates.”
“Studies examining the relationship between lockdown strictness (based on the OxCGRT stringency index) find that the average lockdown in Europe and the United States only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 0.2% compared to a COVID-19 policy based solely on recommendations. Shelter-in-place orders (SIPOs) were also ineffective. They only reduced COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%,” the analysis reads.
