Probably complete bullshit
on both sides of the aisle
the data for the study was cherry-picked, incomplete, and depended on the speculation of 'what-ifs'
lockdowns for a disease with an average survival rate of over 98% was complete bullshit in the first place.
it did ruin economies, jobs, small businesses, etc
it did shift more wealth away from the middle and lower classes to the rich elites
there was a large increase in suicide rates and drug abuse related deaths across many countries
it did kill tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people in 3rd world countries - mostly children, and mostly due to starvation and not getting medicine for other more dangerous diseases and health conditions
sure, the 'john hopkins' study relies on speculation
but the actual destruction caused by the lockdowns is verifiable
to be clear, I have zero qualms about you pointing out shady bullshit that is fodder for people who are quick to leap on it for confirmation bias reasons
your source isn't exactly 'reliable and unbiased' though
