“Lockdowns worst public health mistake in last 100 years”

Odd. Quarantine is the only thing that has worked historically to reduce the spread of disease. It’s in the Bible. It is historical fact. The spread of disease is predictable and you can reduce it. But now this historically proven technique is bad science.

idiots.

Government mandated lockdowns are not quarantines per se.
Quarantines are medically mandated. Lockdowns are politically mandated.

Keeping people from surfing, shutting down businesses or attending church services (that are already following covid protocols) is pure politics in action.

Idiot.

Of course its political.. What an asinine distinction.

Stanford medical expert calls lockdowns “worst public health mistake in last 100 years”

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University recently said the COVID-19 lockdowns are "the single worst public health mistake in the last 100 years," adding that "lockdowns themselves impose great harm on people."

Let's be fair-- even to the Dems.

This was an unprecedented event.

We will not know for some time whether the lockdowns helped or did more harm.

Of course, we all know that they did extreme harm to our mental health and to the economy.

But we should remember that Europe also felt that lockdowns were necessary.

As the saying goes: The lessons that are eventually learned from THIS pandemic may help the government when it responds to the NEXT pandemic.

*****

This year, it appears, the question will be: What to do with people who decline to take the vaccine? I hope that the government and private enterprises will resist the temptation to impose draconian measures.

Here in Ireland lockdowns have proved effective.

Yes, people that are sick or exposed.....not the entire State. I don't recall anywhere in the Bible where the entire Roman Empire was in lock down

Lepers were always isolated.

Yep....the sick were....not the entire state....that's the point

We didn't have a lockdown here.

People could still go out, go to the store, get take out etc.

Without lockdowns we would probably have a death toll of several million and that's pretty hard on people too.

Pure speculation on your part. We will never know how much "lockdowns" helped to reduce death, especially since the vast majority of deaths occurred in people who had compromised immune systems or underlying health problems.

/---/ Yeah, but democRATs had to get Orange Man out of office. So they had no choice but to crash the economy.

and China's also, along with the rest of the world, who knew the Dems were so powerful?

Like the drug war has?

The war on drugs was first, a move by the left to get more tax dollars, but yes, the Govt (both parties) have used it to their advantage.....most recently in the 90s when Xiden created the horrible crime bill to break up familes, lock people away for long times, and create massive dependence.....great example.....Xiden disproportionately hurt minorities with it too....great example
