The “simple” lockdowns we shoulda done
Certain intellectuals keep claiming we should only have locked down harder and done more stringent interventions, that is was sooo simple to do so!
So, it’s so simple to implement draconian, pandemic-quelling interventions that even China hasn’t succeeded.
And so simple that there’s been no correlation worldwide between intervention stringency and pandemic severity.
Interventions: All harms, no benefits.
“None of the strictly implemented NPIs under investigation had a substantial and consistent effect on COVID-19-attributed deaths over time.”
169 countries from July 2020 to Sept 2021.
…something we knew to be the case.
Lockdowns were NOT common sense measures. They were hysterical reactions out of fear.
Here are 15 of just some of the reasons why it was not common sense.
(I’m not including all the reasons we have NOW to see they were a bad idea.)
And so simple to implement pandemic interventions that there’s been massive harm…

The following four slides provide a small sample of the astronomically disastrous effects worldwide due to Covid hysteria and the consequent draconian and ineffective interventions, including lockdowns, masks, social distancing and many others.

Thank you for not letting the devastation of lockdowns become forgotten.
Of the many horrifying facts cited in RFK Jr's book The Real Anthony Fauci, here was the one that knocked me hardest out of the chair, so to speak:
41% of black-owned businesses in the US went bankrupt during that time. These were often small, family-owned, multi-generation businesses that sustained a family and local employees.
Overall, 20% of all small businesses went bankrupt during that time. Main Street was once valued as a keystone of US commerce. This attack was unspeakably awful, if only from that commercial viewpoint.
However, it was also apparent early on that lockdowns failed to reduce deaths. The US offered a clear control and experimental comparison of free states vs locked states, which I wrote about shortly after lockdowns ended:

I support lockdowns now.
Lockdowns for Fauci, Daszak, The Bat-Lady, the economy-wrecking politicians, the Biontech/Pfizer goons. ...
