From the very start of the Wuhan pandemic, the immediate response to anyone who questioned the wisdom of lockdowns was self-righteous condemnation. “We’re trying to save lives! Do you want people to die?”
The universal tone of the lockdowners was that we dissenters should be ashamed of ourselves.
In fact, it’s the lockdowners who should be ashamed.
They are, after all, the people who enacted and supported the most heinous policies out of nothing but panic. Their draconian policies are out of all proportion to the actual risk.
“But people are dying!” they screech. Yes, lamentably, people are dying. But people die every day, nearly all of them of preventable diseases that aren’t COVID. Yet the lockdowners never propose placing entire cities under house arrest for those.
Even worse, we knew very quickly that lockdown policies don’t work. We know that beyond doubt, now.
In fact, we know perfectly well that lockdown policies increase deaths and misery.
Especially for young people. A generation of young people has had their lives blighted by insane, useless lockdown policies. In an unholy panic over a virus that has almost no chance of affecting them.
New figures released by researchers in the UK show that just 25 under-18’s died from COVID from March 2020 to February 2021, two-thirds of whom had “chronic” health conditions, and that lockdown measures aimed at children “may prove a greater risk than that of SARS-CoV-2 itself.”
The numbers show that there is around a 1 in 500,000 chance of children dying from coronavirus in England, and that includes victims of pre-existing medical conditions, like heart disease and cancer.
“More than 75 per cent of the children who died had chronic conditions, while two thirds had more than one underlying condition and 60 per cent had life-limiting conditions,” reports the Daily Mail.
This is not to diminish the lives of those children lost. But let’s face facts: just 25 of Britain’s 17 million under-18s, most of them seriously ill already, died from COVID.
During the same time period, 124 children died from suicide and 268 died from trauma.
Five times more children died from suicide than COVID. This is all the more shocking because, media portrayals to the contrary, child suicide is normally very rare.
But lockdown policies have coincided with a sharp spike in youth mental illness.
Studies conducted by researchers at University College London, the University of York and the University of Liverpool found that lockdown measures which remove children from social environments “may prove a greater risk than that of SARS-CoV-2 itself”[…]
Earlier this year, experts in the UK warned that isolation and depression caused by lockdowns had created a “mental health pandemic.”
According to mental health experts in Australia, COVID-19 lockdowns were found to have been a major contributing factor in a doubling in the number of youth suicides.
