For John, BLUF: The last two years appears to have seen a certain amount of fraud on the part of Federal Medical Sciencists, aided and abetted by the media, including social media. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus three:
Lockdowns are a failure. That’s the gist of a new in-depth study from Johns Hopkins. How much of a failure? Covid mortality rates were reduced by a mere .2%There is a lot we didn't know about COVID-19 when we became awware of it. I am sure that some in Government felt that their duty was to provide the People with a firm path forward, leaving no room for doubt for the benighted hoi polloi.Lockdowns during the first COVID-19 wave in the spring of 2020 only reduced COVID-19 mortality by .2% in the U.S. and Europe, according to a Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of several studies.POINT TWO PERCENT! That’s it. That’s all the lockdowns did in regards to keeping us “safe” from Covid. : In other words, the draconian lockdowns have solved nothing and have, as we’ve written about multiple times, caused more problems than it solved!“While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted,” the researchers wrote. “In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
Going back to the root of the current problem, it seems that some from the Federal Health Establishment felt that it was more important to appear certain than to admit the uncertainty that existed. The mask thing is, for me, an example. From we don’t need them to we need two shows a self-serving set of bureaucrats, trying to downplay the importance of masks, to protect the supply, to eventually, everyone should be masked. Self-serving medical-political leaders. The thread through it all is don’t trust the benighted hoi palloi. That is no way to run a democracy.

Personally it would seem to me, and I am dating myself by saying this, some of us remember having to quarantine, as kids, if we caught chicken pox or measles. In fact, the health inspector came out and put a quarantine notice outside our front door. Therefore, it does not seem strange that shutting down the country would be approved. I find it hard to believe the 0.2% statistic now being given out as the amount of difference in the rate of infection. As a Daily Mail reader it is curious to see how the socially immature Brits couldn’t wait to return to their reckless social behavior by frequenting pubs and social gatherings as soon as any quarantine was lifted, with not a mask in sight! And then, to follow up seeing a resurgence of the virus.
