60 Medical Studies on Lockdowns

How to prove the government imprisoned us for no reason?

For the “Information Age” it can be surprisingly difficult to find unbiased data on the efficacy of the tactics employed by almost every government around the globe during a global pandemic. We are bombarded with an endless list of commands to “follow the Science™” from the corporate media, political overlords, and fact checking thought police if we dare raise any objection to their increasingly intrusive demands.

For those that care about science, data, and informed decisions here is a list of 60 medical studies on the effectiveness of the lockdowns that have been ongoing for almost 18 months now. The best of these will be featured in an upcoming in-depth article on the totalitarianism underlying current public health measures, but in the meantime follow the science, and share to those who are deprived reliable information at the hands of biased media.
