March 11, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Stanford University professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently slammed COVID-19 lockdowns as the “biggest public health mistake we’ve ever made.”
“The harm to people is catastrophic,” he told the Daily Clout in an interview last month.
Bhattacharya, an associate professor of medicine at Stanford University Medical School and an economist with the Freeman Spogli Institute, reiterated his comments to Newsweek, calling lockdowns “the single worst public health mistake in the last 100 years.”
“We will be counting the catastrophic health and psychological harms, imposed on nearly every poor person on the face of the earth, for a generation,” Bhattacharya predicted. “At the same time, they have not served to control the epidemic in the places where they have been most vigorously imposed. In the US, they have — at best — protected the ‘non-essential’ class from COVID, while exposing the essential working class to the disease,” he continued.
A peer-reviewed study from January co-authored by Bhattacharya indeed found “no clear, significant beneficial effect of [more restrictive COVID-19 restrictions] on case growth in any country.”
