Major medical journal 'The Lancet' shows Covid lockdowns had NO EFFECT on reducing deaths

A new study published in The Lancet, a medical journal, has revealed that Covid-19 mandates such as lockdowns, mask mandates, and business closures, had no effect on the total number of deaths experienced as a result of the pandemic.

The study found that "Mandate propensity (a summary measure that captures a state's use of physical distancing and mask mandates) was associated with a statistically significant and meaningfully large reduction in the cumulative infection rate, but not the cumulative death rate."

While vaccines, masking, and restrictions on where people could go were associated with lower infection rates, only vaccines were associated with a lower death rate.

The study also found that "Increased vaccine coverage and vaccine mandates for state employees were associated with reductions in both fourth-grade mathematics and reading test scores," and that increased mask use, more mobility, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates for school employees were also associated with reductions in fourth-grade mathematics scores.

With schools being shut down during the pandemic and the rise of remote learning, many states have seen a marked decrease in students reading and mathematics levels.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress, issued in October of 2022, found that just 26 percent of eighth graders were proficient in math, down from 34 percent in 2019. 36 percent of fourth graders were proficient in math, down from 41 percent in 2019.

Reading proficiency scores for fourth graders is at 33 percent, with eighth graders scoring 31 percent.

The study did not find any association between mandates and reductions in state GRP, or between infections or deaths and GDP.

The study also noted that pre-Covid-19 characteristics of states, such as poverty rates, the type of non-white population, and education levels, played a role in the level of vaccination.

But the lockdowns,etc *did* allow the Rats to steal the election.

Masks and lockdowns have some limited benefit in individual cases and for specific facilities, but they fail as general mandates for everyone.

only vaccines were associated with a lower death rate.

US COVID death toll would be 4X higher without vaccines, modeling study finds

And they weren’t meant to.

They were meant to flatten the curve. This was because there was concern hospitals would be too overwhelmed.

Initial precautions became like a religious dogma.

Sweden had it right, one of the very few.

Yet 'The Lancet' peddled the lie that COVID-19⁸⁴ didn't come from a lab.

The same rag was forced to admit to blatant conflicts of interest having Peter Daszak, of the Eco-Health Alliance fraud, as a leading signatory on the letter. They only admitted it under grilling by British Members of Parliament on the Science and Technology Select Committee.

‘There was No Virus’ Says The Former Vice President of Pfizer (5.12.23)

The lockdowns were politically-driven theater imo, not based on practiced, scientifically-proven procedures.

In fact, here's Pelosi in San Fran Chinatown after "orange man bad" had strongly recommended lockdown on advice of very questionable (imo) "health" advisors, Pelosi inviting everybody to come and have a good time just to spite Trump.

Speaker Pelosi Visits SF's Chinatown To Show Support Amid Coronavirus Fears (non-FR; 2:14 min; 2.24.2020)

Hypothetically speaking, the people who visited Chinatown got infected with the virus and then passed it to other people when they finally “quarantined” themselves with others.

So we still don't know if drilled, science-based quarantine procedures are effective in stopping a virus.

Federal agencies, Big Pharma, the medical community (doctors and their AMA), legislatures and corporate media colluded on promoting the biggest fraud in human history to say nothing of it’s (Covids) lethality.

It's Trump's fault...

The political affiliation of the state governor was not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 death rates, but worse COVID-19 outcomes were associated with the proportion of a state's voters who voted for the 2020 Republican presidential candidate.

...and...

Many of the worst-performing states and territories in our study are also those with the highest populations of people identifying as Black (Washington, DC; Mississippi; and Georgia), Hispanic (Arizona and New Mexico), or American Indian and Alaska Native (Idaho, Nevada, Alaska, Wyoming, and Montana).

(Trump won 5.4% of the DC vote. And Blacks tend to do poorly with infections with other RNA viruses, like HIV and Hepatitis C.)
