Lockdowns do more damage than good? The W.H.O. says that!

[CanadaSam]

Seems the World Health Organization has done a backflip and advised against lockdowns being the primary method of controlling covid, as it seems that Thailand and many other countries are doing, and it makes for an interesting read....

well it definitely stops the Chinese bringing COVID in or any other nationality.

Many have known and advised this all along.

 

Doesn't matter to the doomers.  We all gonna die if we don't stay locked in the basement far as they are concerned.

Interestingly enough all the narrative nanny pro-lockdown conspiracy theorists have gotten awfully quiet now after Great Barrington and this, but they will start yammering soon enough when the msm counteroffensive begins.

WHO warns against COVID-19 lockdowns citing grave economic consequences

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4029246

 

Doubling world poverty and child malnutrition are starting points. Here they also talk about the inequality in damages of the lockdowns which disproportionately hit poorer people. The lockdowns are much easier for the middle class and wealthy who can remotely work and have savings to fall back on while the poor take the brunt of developing society's herd immunity and the economic meltdown. While only malnutrition is mentioned here, elsewhere I have read that death from starvation should hit 130 million from these lockdowns, but I am not sure where this figure comes from.

 

“Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays,” Nabarro said.

“Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world because their markets have got dented. Look what’s happening to poverty levels. It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year,” Nabarro continued. “We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition because children are not getting meals at schools, and their parents, in poor families, are not able to afford it.”

In the end, the WHO envoy appealed to world leaders to avoid locking down their countries as a means to tackle the pandemic and suggested using better alternatives.

“We really do appeal to all world leaders: stop using lockdown as your primary control method. Develop better systems for doing it. Work together and learn from each other, but remember lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.”

Especially now that they are opposing the official/mandatory narrative.

Well, duh. You'd have to be lobotomized to have not realized that from the start of this casedemic.

[from the home of CC]

they also state herd immunity is not an ethical path either..

I agree with you.  Those that look at the data would have a hard time in thinking that lockdowns work and are beneficial to society.

Great Barrington, John Snow rebuttal, WHO and follow the science. I like to follow science, you know like I learnt in Grade 9, make a hypothesis, find a way to test it and prove it, then have it reviewed. Most of what I can see is scientific opinion especially the first two. They cannot agree but both documents are just words. Much of the scientific knowledge is still emerging and evolving. Let's hope that continues. But in the meantime, in my judgement the "lockdown is the only viable strategy, wait for a vaccine even for a very long time" narrative appears to be well in the ascendancy and there's not a damn thing I or any other humble peasant can do. Powerful forces are involved, fear for instance on the middle and upper middle class west of mainly older people, smug complacency on the part of those who can work from home and who are in fact little affected and financially better off under lockdown, fear of admitting they are wrong in the case of many politicians, chief medical officers and media talking heads. One of the preferred tactics is to shut down any debate by shrill and unjustified follow the science mantras. When it is clear that the science is in dispute on many but obviously not all aspects of this. Only when the science is clear and unequivocal will I pay homage to it. In the meantime, I must use reason, logic and common sense to run my life within the constraints that have been placed upon me and about which I have no say. That is for the forseeable future.

 

Then the vaccine will probably be approved next week, Biden will win, China will say sorry and I will throw a big party.
