Still More Evidence That
Lockdowns Were A Massive
Waste Of Time, Money, And Lives

The nation’s economy is on track to drop by more than 30% in the second quarter. Unemployment is well into the double digits. Half of small businesses might close in the next six months. All for naught, it would appear, giving the growing pile of evidence that the economic lockdowns didn’t work. The latest evidence comes from a report out of JP Morgan Chase & Co. this week. It finds that there’s been no increase in cases or deaths as other nations and U.S. states start reopening. This flies directly in the face of all the public health expert predictions

Somebodies need to be help accountable for this sham. Those continuing the sham more so than others. I refuse to go to church until they quit with the mask and social distance silliness. It only serves to make used to be normal conservative, free-thinking people FEEL safe and like they're doing their part to prevent something, when it's all bunk.

In high school, we were taught the phrase "willing suspension of disbelief". Look at the yarn the media spun about this virus. You can have it and not know it. You can have it up to 14 days before you have symptoms. You can get it, and a "previously healthy" person can be dead in 3 days. Good grief, how much are we expected to swallow? HCQ doesn't work. All good news is anecdotal. I could go on. I know this much: in 62 years, if I got a flu-like virus, I knew it and felt it within hours. I just shake my head sometimes.

Good article. Even better evidence that lockdowns didn't work is the wide range of disease behavior in countries around the world in response to their differing protocols. For example, Hong Kong's mortality rate, at 0.00038% (only four dead!!!!) is 6,000X lower than NYC, with 28,000 dead...shouldn't we be asking, 'Why?'

Witness that every election is about race, poverty, homeless, health care,etc. All feely issues that are never resolved so they can continue to blame conservatives.

by latest count from wa doh, wa has only a total of 332 covid hospitalizations currently across the state of some 13000 total hospital beds. unfortunately some 5% of these will die with the disease. the governor turned away an installed FEMA hospital set up by the feds earlier in the crisis and still has this state illegally shutdown based on the risk of covid. clearly mission accomplished by the residents who sacrificed to prevent the system from being overwhelmed. Clasic demoncrat behavior that no good deed remains unpunished. many people here r suffering due to governor inslees obsolete stay at home orders.

Like we need more evidence. This period has not been a total loss and we will make up a portion of what the economy has lost in the near future. Most of us have learned a valuable lesson about giving away individual freedoms and it will not happen again. I don't care if we are being invaded by Martians, we will not lock down, ever.

Click the links in this editorial. They are fascinating. The AEI article says lockdowns don't work. In fact, their data shows that death rates (all causes, not just Covid) go up in places that are locked down. There could be many reasons for this: shutting down other medical care, suicide etc. However, there is a simpler explanation: Covid was never as dangerous to the general population as people were led to believe. The rationale given for lockdown was that it would slow the rate at which people got sick so medical facilities would not be overwhelmed. They said it would "flatten the curve" by extending its duration, but it would NOT dramatically change the area under it. In other words, lockdowns would only marginally reduce deaths due to insufficient access to medical resources but NOT the total number predicted to die from the disease itself. Thus, the British idiot Neil Ferguson was still forecasting 1.1 million US deaths even with lockdowns in place. Instead, the opposite happened: Death rates peaked BEFORE the lockdowns could have had any effect. Hospitals were nowhere near overrun. The curve flattened itself and has been shrinking ever since. Here's why: The Covid total death percentage (i.e. number who die compared with number of people there are) used by the idiot Ferguson to predict total deaths back in Feb 2020 was 1%. This was clearly nonsense even then. They based that percentage on the Case Fatality Rate (number who tested positive who died). Since the people being tested at that point were overwhelmingly the sickest, it was ludicrous to use that percentage to predict Covid's ultimate effect on the general population. For the record, the actual Covid death percentage in the United States is currently 0.03%. If you are a young, healthy person with no underlying conditions, you are far more likely to die from many other things in day to day life. The lockdowns were a tragic mistake, and some are still making it.

Can we stop blindly believing everything said by the scientific community now? Their models were garbage. You cannot make a model when there is no accurate data. The scientific community knows better, but they follow the money and the politics. They are no longer reliable. Trump and the Republicans should never have listened to them in the first place. When Trump's advisors came to him with this garbage, he should have thrown them out of his office, and fired half of them on the spot. You don't destroy the economy to 'save lives'. As for the Democrats, everyone by now knows where they stand. Want tyranny? Vote Democrat. That's all the Democrats have offered since Trump was elected President. Coups are tyranny. Impeachment shams are tyranny. A lying media is tyranny. Jack booted leaders are tyranny. Corruption and stupidity breed tyranny. We are being lead by tyrants. Its clear that CV19 was/is being used to take down Trump. The only question is how far does it go. If China deliberately exported CV19, the movement to take down Trump (and the United States) is global. It was an act of war.

Last summer, fed up with Democrats’ claim that theirs is the “Party of Science,” we pointed out that it is in reality the Party of Science Fiction. We hope others have had their fill, too, and public opinion will force the Democrats to grow up. “Science” is never invoked by the political left to illuminate, educate, or guide. It’s used to terminate discussion, to shut down debate. It’s employed in exactly the same way “racist” has been used for decades.

We are hard-pressed to identify a single redeeming feature in the 600-page “stimulus” bill that has now passed the Senate and House on a strict party-line vote. You’ve got to hand it to AOC and Bernie. These nutcases actually pulled it off! Some of our friends point to the dollars for vaccine distribution. We don’t object to that, though if we simply let the private sector handle the vaccine program, odds are it would happen faster. The other $1.7 trillion is negative for the economy and jobs. There is nothing in this bill that stimulates the supply side of the economy -- i.e., the production of goods and services.

H.R. 1, the Democrats’ just-passed “election reform” bill, laughably dubbed by supporters the “For The People Act,” is so bad you might be tempted to ignore it. After all, legislation this awful can’t get passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, right? But all Americans should take it seriously. It’s an attempt to take away your right to vote and create permanent Democratic control of the federal government. Yes, elections have consequences, and terrible bills like this certainly prove that.

President Joe Biden wasn’t too happy when Texas and Mississippi decided to reopen their economies and liberate their people from statewide mask mandates, calling it “Neanderthal thinking.” But wait a minute, who’s following the science here, and who isn’t? While Biden is clearly in love with the idea of the government forcing Americans to wear masks and keeping heavy restrictions on businesses, the science is piling up showing that these measures are not very effective, if they are at all. One Swiss group, for example, found 10 studies challenging the effectiveness of masks. One is a Danish review that compared

COVID-19 cases are plunging. Vaccination rates are booming. The economy is rebounding. States are running budget surpluses. Schools are reopening. All without the benefit of President Joe Biden’s “urgently needed” $1.9 trillion spending spree. So why aren’t supposedly moderate Senate Democrats standing up to oppose this Treasury theft, which will be paid for by future generations? Just this week, we learned that Texas has dropped its mask mandate and is lifting limits on businesses. So is Mississippi. Biden said that vaccines will be available to all Americans by May.

It was clear during the 2020 presidential campaign that Joe Biden was a man in decline. Yet the Democrats ran him as their candidate anyway. Was their obsession with removing Donald Trump from the White House worth turning over the federal machine, with its nuclear codes and ability to destroy innocent people, to a man whose faculties are failing him? Biden’s cognitive challenges have been obvious to anyone who’s willing to make an honest assessment. In both public appearances and in controlled conditions, he’s slurred words, spewed gibberish, stumbled through remarks even with the aid of a teleprompter, and often

Dr. Anthony Fauci has impressive credentials and a lengthy tenure as a top-level government health official dating back to 1984. But his performance during the COVID-19 pandemic has been abysmal, with politicized non-science-based edicts and frequently reversed “medical advice” that have confused and frightened Americans. Just a week ago, Fauci made what to some was a stunning admission: “We’ve done worse than most any country” in managing the outbreak, he said. We say “stunning” because Fauci, as head of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is the official most responsible for the U.S. response. His 2019 pay of

The just-passed Equality Act no doubt sounds wonderful to many. Who, after all, can disagree with a bill to “prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation”? But it’s a wretched bill, one that would have many terrible consequences. Passed Thursday by a 224-206 vote, with only three Republicans in support, the legislation now goes to the Senate, where it’s expected (but not guaranteed) to fail. After all, the same bill also passed the House early last year, only to die in the Senate, where it needs 60 votes to get beyond that chamber’s filibuster. With

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
