What follows is the current totality of the body of evidence (available comparative studies and high-level pieces of evidence, reporting, and discussion) on COVID-19 lockdowns, masks, school closures, and mask mandates. There is no conclusive evidence supporting claims that any of these restrictive measures worked to reduce viral transmission or deaths. Lockdowns were ineffective, school closures were ineffective, mask mandates were ineffective, and masks themselves were and are ineffective and harmful.

Emerging data has shown a staggering amount of so-called “collateral damage” due to the lockdowns. This can be predicted to adversely affect many millions of people globally with food insecurity [82-132 million more people], severe poverty [70 million more people], maternal and under age-5 mortality from interrupted healthcare [1.7 million more people], infectious diseases deaths from interrupted services [millions of people with Tuberculosis, Malaria, and HIV], school closures for children [affecting children’s future earning potential and lifespan], interrupted vaccination campaigns for millions of children, and intimate partner violence for millions of women. In high-income countries adverse effects also occur from delayed and interrupted healthcare, unemployment, loneliness, deteriorating mental health, increased opioid crisis deaths, and more.
• A New Year’s Nightmare: COVID-19 Litigation Piling Up (Hollywood Reporter – 01/11/21)
The 1970s brought a wave of business interruption suits against insurers involving asbestos contamination; in the ’80s, environmental pollution led to courtroom fights; and the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, launched a litany of legal disputes, the last of which didn’t end until 2018. Yet the legal war over COVID-related insurance claims is expected to dwarf any of those battlefields, according to those entrenched in this niche of law. “What you see with COVID19 is, it affects everyone, not just companies that have asbestos or environmental issues,” says Ty Childress. “There are well over 1,000 coverage cases across the country already, and we’re still in act one of the play. Losing weight by 20 kilograms still seems like a fairy tale to me. I told the pharmacist about my problem, and he advised buying phentermine at the same time, telling me how to take it. I know that it should be used in obese people, but I saw no other way to lose weight. At home, I read a little more about the drug and took the first pill. Now I weigh 58 kilos. Pinch me. There are exponentially more policyholders in the claims process right now.”
