[QUOTE=PVMonger;2715401]Folks like Elvis would rather have had more people die if they could have made an extra buck. The families of the dead can go pound sand, though, 'cause, well, who cares. Right, Elvis?[/QUOTE]LOL. Stanford University professor of medicine Jay Bhattacharya noted last year that in years to come lockdowns will be looked back upon as the most catastrophically harmful policy in all of history.
The epidemiologist added Every single poor person on the face of the earth has faced some harm, sometimes catastrophic harm, from this lockdown policy, adding that "We will be counting the catastrophic health and psychological harms, imposed on nearly every poor person on the face of the earth, for a generation.
A peer reviewed study by Stanford researchers found that mandatory lockdowns do not provide more benefits to stopping the spread of COVID-19 than voluntary measures such as social distancing.
The researchers found no clear, significant beneficial effect of more restrictive measures on case growth in any country.
As we also previously reported, Academics from Duke, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins have concluded that there could be around a million excess deaths over the next two decades as a result of lockdowns. Kluge's warning matched that of the WHO's special envoy on COVID-19, Dr David Nabarro, who told the Spectator in an interview that world leaders should stop imposing lockdowns as a reflex reaction because they are making poor people an awful lot poorer.
