Why Lockdowns Must Never Be Used

SARS-CoV-2 has a 99.85% survival rate. Four studies have estimated that 99% of people possess some degree of pre-pandemic natural immunity. Public Health Norway has stated that SARS-CoV-2 is equivalent to the flu and thus deserves no special measures. Almost all COVID deaths are in the elderly with pre-existing poor health. For people under 70, SARS-CoV-2 carries a lower risk of death than the flu.

The PCR tests used to diagnose a COVID infection are fraudulent, resulting in almost all reported ‘cases’ being false positives. A large portion of deaths attributed to COVID are also intentionally misattributed. There is no pandemic or emergency from which we need protection.

COVID has effective treatments which, on average, reduce mortality by 85%. These treatments are forbidden in many countries because the government wants as many people as possible to die from COVID. Supplementation of vitamin D reduces illness in the same range. Rather than imprison society to ‘save lives,’ the government should provide treatment.

Being imprisoned at home or forced to stay away from others is a violation of our most precious and most basic human rights. Associating with others is the essence of life, after all. Severe restrictions on interpersonal interaction violate the constitution and international human rights law.

Although it is cool to deny it, life under lockdown is utter misery. Numerous studies have discovered that lockdowns reduce quality of life commensurate with having an acute physical disease. Psychological wellness is as important to health as physical wellness. There is also the potential for lockdowns to cause long-term psychological trauma.

Unemployment, poverty, and unmanageable personal debt have consistently resulted from lockdowns. In contrast to the false dichotomy of ‘lives over jobs,’ these three adverse financial outcomes are themselves strongly associated with poor health outcomes. A strong economy is the backbone of a healthy society. Public health measures which severely harm the economy are always counterproductive.

Cancelling surgeries, postponing diagnostic tests, and making it more difficult to see a healthcare provider will always have major repercussions on people’s health. People are forced to suffer from their medical conditions longer than usual due to delayed treatment. Many people inevitably die as a result of healthcare obstruction.

Contrary to the mainstream narrative, the healthcare denial that has come with lockdowns has always been intentional. The healthcare system has the same capacity as pre-pandemic. It has been ordered to close down by the government to create the impression that it is overloaded with COVID patients.

The rate of people who are suicidal has increased 4-fold in the general population and 10-fold among youth. Hospitals have seen an explosion in youth attempting to kill themselves compared to pre-lockdown. Suicide attempts are now common in children for the first time in history. Lockdowns make life so unbearable that people don’t see any point in living.

There appears to be few situations as stressful as being confined to the home for long periods. This ironic revelation can be seen in the increase in domestic problems, smoking, and binge drinking during lockdowns. Fatal overdoses have risen dramatically. Street drugs are more dangerous under lockdowns due to substitution with easier-to-get but more toxic synthetic drugs.

Lockdowns prevent many people from adequately feeding themselves, even in rich countries. In low income countries, lockdowns have caused mass famine and significantly escalated levels of extreme poverty. Hundreds of millions of people have sunken into extreme poverty as a result of a lockdown in 2020, doubling the number of people on the starvation line.

Unconstitutional policies such as lockdowns or forced masking create deep divisions in society. Many people zealously support the radical policies while others fervently oppose them. The rift is so severe that it often breaks up friendships and families. 

Because there is no scientific, legal, or moral foundation for lockdowns, support is based upon faith in the government and media which promote them. A faith-based cult has arisen which attacks anyone who complains about the terrible abuse they are enduring at the hands of their government.

It is only logical that we should try to strengthen our immune system to protect us from respiratory infections. SARS-CoV-2, like all pathogens, will not make someone sick if she has a sufficiently strong immune system. By causing persistent stress, limiting our contact with microorganisms, depriving us of physical activity, and other mechanisms, lockdowns have a powerful immunosuppressive effect. They steal the best weapon we have against coronavirus — our immune system!

Many studies have compared free jurisdictions to those under lockdown. The conclusion — strictness of the pandemic response has no effect on any COVID metric. Simply, lockdowns do not work. Counterintuitive, yes, but when you consider that people need to be sick to spread coronavirus, it starts to make sense.

Unfortunately, there have been many ‘studies’ which compared actual COVID deaths to projected deaths according to a model and concluded that lockdowns have saved a large amount of lives. These studies are propaganda, not science. The models were designed to produce an unrealistically high number of COVID deaths. The media, of course, buries the quality studies which have proven that lockdowns have no positive effects.
