This study is hardly the first to conclude that lockdowns were not effective in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
A previous analysis published in 2022 by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the United States found that pandemic lockdowns only prevented 0.2 per cent of global deaths from the coronavirus. Based on a review of 34 independent COVID-19 studies, the analysis revealed that school and border closures, confining people to their homes, and limiting public gatherings had virtually no effect in reducing the number of deaths.
The Johns Hopkins researchers concluded that there was “no evidence” such measures had any noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality. Given the “devastating effects” of lockdowns, the researchers recommended they should in future be “rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument.” Revealingly, border closures were found to be even less effective in saving lives than the lockdowns themselves, with mortality rates being reduced by just 0.1 percent.
