Lockdowns don't work, and they never did

 This makes me want to do the Razorfist chair-spin with two middle fingers and the "Fuck you I was right!"

For more than a year, proponents and opponents of COVID-19 lockdowns have played tug of war over safety and freedom, with both camps declaring fealty to science despite opposite messages. Thanks to the ruling class who insisted shutting down would save lives, that became the conventional wisdom. Fauci, President Joe Biden, and their allies in the media called for nationwide lockdowns, with Biden condemning Trump for leaving the decision to states and Fauci saying this time last year, “I don’t understand why” a nationwide stay-at-home order isn’t happening.

As is so often the case, however, the conventional wisdom was wrong. A new study from Chicago University economist Casey Mulligan validates what the anti-lockdowners knew all along: Lockdowns are a bad idea. After workplaces implemented mitigation measures, they became far safer environments than people’s homes.

The destruction and devastation wrought by the fear mongers and the government never needed to happen.

Say it again:  IT.  NEVER.  NEEDED.  TO.  HAPPEN.

We have lost our freedom and our sanity.  This country is fucked, with a drooling Chinese hand puppet installed in the Oval Office while anti-American marxists work from inside the government to destroy this country and turn it into a communist hellhole.  Businesses lost.  Economies destroyed.  Churches shut down.  We were telling families that they couldn't attend the funerals of their parents because of this bullshit.  And it never needed to happen.
