A university report states that the lockdowns more harmful than helpful. schools shouldn't have been shut down, isolate the vulnerable and herd immunity would have been a better option.....WELL No SH*t!

Too little too late now!


A scientific review of the science behind lockdown concludes the policy was a MISTAKE & will have caused MORE deaths from Covid-19

The report, analysing the information available to UK policymakers in March, says schools shouldn’t have shut, that only vulnerable groups like the old should have been isolated, & that herd immunity may have been a better route.
A new paper by researchers at Edinburgh University suggests that lockdowns do not help to reduce the death toll from Covid-19, but may simply postpone those deaths. It's another piece of evidence that suggests that a different strategy to combat the pandemic - one that doesn't impose blanket restrictions across society - is needed.
The research was done by a team from Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy. If that sounds odd, Professor Graeme Ackland, one of the authors, has a good explanation. He told me: “From March, every serious epidemiologist has been seconded to SPI-M (the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling) and SAGE (the main Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies), producing new research on a timescale of days. There simply aren't enough of them to also do replication or even careful peer review. But there were thousands of people who could do data-cleaning, code checking, validation and replication.”
Ackland and his colleagues were, he says, “tasked by SPI-M and SAGE with exploring any ‘reservations’. SPI-M understood very well the problem of groupthink in a closed community, and asked us to ‘kick the tyres’ on everything. Another thing real epidemiologists would do themselves given enough time.”

Hospitals closed down to almost everyone for several months this year, except people "with COVID-19". Almost everyone else was denied medical treatment, screenings for diseases, or preventive care for several months. This has undoubtedly caused great harm to public health. I attribute the slight increase in overall deaths this year mainly to this massive denial of medical care to the population, and after that to mask-wearing and also to the general stress that liberal politicians and the media have inflicted on the population by constant fear propaganda.
