Yes, Lockdowns Were a Waste (and a Volcano Erupts)
9th March 2021
A friend of mine is retired from the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, CA. He is still the world’s expert in predicting volcanic eruptions. His seminal work was published in Nature in 1996. He now says that he’s disappointed that Nature publishes so much that is not real science. As a result, I’m a bit reticent posting this. However, it seems to me very solid.
Lockdowns accomplished nothing in stopping the spread of COVID-19.
As in the old days the perceived efficacy of a medicine was indicated by how bad it tasted, the lockdowns were intended to impress the ignorant with their effectiveness by the amount of pain they caused.
