A Johns Hopkins meta-analysis found COVID lockdowns reduced mortality by only 3.2%. Meanwhile, fatal drug overdoses surged 30%, adolescent anxiety and depression increased dramatically, children suffered devastating learning losses, and global poverty increased by an estimated 100 million people. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration calling for focused protection instead of lockdowns, was placed on a government 'blacklist' and censored on social media. He was later vindicated and appointed NIH Director.
