So, then why is this one (flawed) meta analysis is making the rounds today as the proof that lock downs didn't work....

A "Meta Analysis" that used 34 studies (out of the thousands that have been done) examining these approaches to the mandates.

A meta analysis that limited studies so they were only by economists, political scientists AND NOT epidemiologists, virologists and other public health backgrounds.

A meta analysis that lumped 'lock downs' to include almost any mandate (masking, capacity limits, restaurants closing early etc..) and also not 'when' these 'lock downs' were implemented

Now why would these authors of this meta analysis (and yes, I keep restating the type of study for a reason) limit it to those few studies and lump everything together as a 'lock down'...

Perhaps to get the answer the study authors wanted?

And perhaps it is making the rounds this week because of confirmation bias?

Lots of criticisms of the study are out there.

sounds like unbiased commentary...

"Have you seen the so-called “Johns Hopkins study” that’s been making the social media and Bill Maher rounds lately? "

hope Rogan doesn't mention it...

Never, nor on CNN. Nor has Faucci ever flip flopped or been wrong. nor has he ever lied to congress about funding gain of research at the Wuhan lab. Nope, not him.

You know, in Faucci's home office, he has a beautiful big desk where he works. Over the desk on the wall, is a massive oil painting of...himself. That's not even a little bit narcissistic. I can hear Faucci singing that Joe Cocker song, "I am so beautiful.....to me....I'm everything I ever hoped for...I'm everything I need..."
