A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News
concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the
actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American
citizens.
Up until this point there had been no simple, rigorous analysis that
accurately and definitively conveys the true costs of the COVID-19
lockdowns. Accordingly, Revolver News set out to commission a
study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the
lockdowns in terms of a metric known as “life-years.” Simply put, we
have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of
unemployment to calculate an estimate of how many years of life will
have been lost due to the lockdowns in the United States, and have
weighed this against an estimate of how many years of life will have
been saved by the lockdowns. The results are nothing short of
staggering, and suggest that the lockdowns will end up costing Americans
over 10 times as many years of life as they will save from the virus
itself.
The COVID-19 lockdown measures that Americans have had to endure for
the greater part of 2020 represent one of the most dramatic,
consequential, and damaging policy measures undertaken in this nation’s
history. For the first time in its history, America has
experienced a situation so crippling and perilous that long term
financial and social stability have been legitimately threatened.
As with everything in 2020 America, these lockdown measures have
become deeply politicized. President Trump opposes further devastating
lockdowns. In his recent Republican National Convention speech,
President Trump raised the point that lockdowns have had very real and
very devastating effects on the lives of many Americans............
