Funny when all the data shows the entire forced lockdown
and mask thing was both useless and harmful.
Expect more damning all-encompassing studies in time.


Anti-Lockdown States Performed Better Than New York & California,
Think Tank Finds

Freedom-loving states like Florida and South Dakota performed
significantly better than states like New York and California which
imposed harsh lockdown restrictions in terms of health, economy and
education, according research by a US think tank.

The working paper, published by the National Bureau of Economic
Research, took those three factors and combined them to come up with a
composite score and an overall rank.

The paper is called ‘A Final Report Card on the States’ Response to
COVID-19’ and was written by Casey B. Mulligan, Professor in Economics
at the University of Chicago, Phil Kerpen, President of the Committee
to Unleash Prosperity, and Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation.

The authors tracked unemployment and GDP by state as well as the
percentage of schools that stayed open during 2020-2021.

In terms of health, they looked at Covid-associated deaths reported to
the CDC and all-cause excess mortality.

“Like numerous other studies, the authors found no relationship
between lockdowns (measured in this case by economic impact) and
health outcomes. If anything there was a slight correlation between
remaining open and lower mortality,” writes Will Jones.

Top performing states were Utah, Nebraska, and Vermont, followed by
six other states including Florida and South Dakota.

Proving that Americans were keen on fleeing restriction-heavy states,
the four states with the highest net outward migration were Washington
D.C., New York, Illinois and California, all of which featured in the
bottom six of the overall rankings.

“Another weighty nail in the lockdown coffin – though lockdown
proponents seem very slow in accepting it,” concludes Jones.

As we previously highlighted, a study by the renowned Johns Hopkins
University concluded that global lockdowns have had a much more
detrimental impact on society than they have produced any benefit,
with researchers urging that they “are ill-founded and should be
rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
