Los confinamientos, el cierre de escuelas y los mandatos de mascarilla han sido un fracaso devastador y causaron un inmenso daño, sintetiza el Dr. Paul Elias Alexander, consultor de la OMS.

«Un gran conjunto de pruebas demuestra que los confinamientos por el COVID-19, el cierre de escuelas y los mandatos de mascarilla han fracasado en su propósito de frenar la transmisión o reducir las muertes», sintetiza el Dr. Paul Elias Alexander en un reciente artículo en The Epoch Times. «Estas políticas restrictivas han sido un fracaso ineficaz y devastador, causando un inmenso daño, especialmente a los más pobres y vulnerables de las sociedades», resalta el académico, consultor de la OMS en torno al Covid-19.

«Casi todos los gobiernos han intentado adoptar medidas obligatorias para controlar el virus, pero ningún gobierno puede presumir de éxito. La investigación indica que los mandatos de enmascaramiento, los cierres y los cierres de escuelas no han tenido un impacto discernible en las trayectorias del virus», agrega. Paul Elías Alexander cita más de 400 estudios que demuestran que las políticas «pandémicas» han sido un fracaso en materia de prevención de la salud, y aún peor: han tenido resultados contraproducentes.

«Esto lo sabemos desde hace mucho tiempo, pero los gobiernos siguen doblando la apuesta, causando miseria a la gente», destaca. Algunos conceptos salientes de su informe:

Los daños a los niños, las enfermedades no diagnosticadas que darán lugar a un exceso de mortalidad en los años venideros, la depresión, la ansiedad, la ideación suicida en nuestros jóvenes, las sobredosis de drogas y los suicidios debidos a las políticas de encierro, el aislamiento aplastante debido a los encierros, los daños psicológicos, el abuso doméstico y sexual de los niños, la pérdida de puestos de trabajo y de negocios y el impacto devastador, y el número masivo de muertes resultantes de los encierros que impactarán fuertemente en las mujeres y las minorías.
Lo óptimo era un enfoque estratificado por edad (protección focalizada como se indica en la Declaración de Great Barrington) y no políticas de carta blanca cuando teníamos pruebas de una diferencia de 1.000 veces en el riesgo de muerte entre un niño y un anciano. Sabíamos de la potencia y el éxito del tratamiento ambulatorio temprano para reducir el riesgo de hospitalización y muerte en las personas vulnerables.
Desde el principio quedó claro que los grupos de trabajo, los asesores médicos y los responsables de la toma de decisiones no leían las pruebas, no estaban al día con la ciencia o los datos, no «entendían» las pruebas y estaban cegados por la ciencia, a menudo impulsados por sus propios prejuicios, sesgos, arrogancia y ego. Siguen instalados en la pura dejadez y pereza académica. Estaba claro que la respuesta no era de salud pública. Fue una respuesta política desde el primer día y continúa hoy.
Los niños nacidos durante la pandemia tienen un rendimiento verbal, motor y cognitivo general significativamente reducido en comparación con los niños nacidos antes de la pandemia».
El Centro de Control de Enfermedades de la Columbia Británica (BCCDC) publicó un informe completo en septiembre de 2020 sobre el impacto del cierre de escuelas en los niños y descubrió que i) los niños comprenden una pequeña proporción de los casos diagnosticados de COVID-19, tienen una enfermedad menos grave y la mortalidad es rara ii) los niños no parecen ser una fuente importante de transmisión de SARS-CoV-2 en los hogares o en las escuelas, un hallazgo que ha sido consistente a nivel mundial iii) hay diferencias importantes entre cómo se transmiten la gripe y el SARS-CoV-2. El cierre de las escuelas puede ser menos eficaz como medida de prevención del COVID-19 iv) el cierre de las escuelas puede tener consecuencias graves e imprevistas para los niños y los jóvenes v) el cierre de las escuelas contribuye a aumentar el estrés familiar, especialmente para las mujeres cuidadoras, mientras las familias equilibran el cuidado de los niños y el aprendizaje en el hogar con las demandas de empleo vi) la violencia familiar puede aumentar durante la pandemia de COVID, mientras que el cierre de las escuelas y los centros de atención infantil puede crear una brecha en la red de seguridad para los niños que están en riesgo de abuso y negligencia.»
Ahora, lugares como Austria (noviembre de 2021) han vuelto a entrar en el mundo de la locura del cierre sólo para ser superados por Australia. De hecho, una ilustración de la espuria necesidad de estas acciones mal informadas es que se están llevando a cabo frente a la clara evidencia científica que muestra que durante los estrictos cierres sociales anteriores, los cierres escolares, los mandatos de máscara y las restricciones sociales adicionales, ¡el número de casos positivos aumentó!

Lo que sigue es la totalidad del cuerpo de evidencia actual (estudios comparativos disponibles y piezas de evidencia de alto nivel, informes y discusiones) sobre los cierres de COVID-19, las máscaras, los cierres de escuelas y los mandatos de máscaras. No hay pruebas concluyentes que respalden las afirmaciones de que alguna de estas medidas restrictivas funcionó para reducir la transmisión viral o las muertes. Los encierros fueron ineficaces, el cierre de escuelas fue ineficaz, los mandatos de mascarilla fueron ineficaces, y las propias mascarillas fueron y son ineficaces y perjudiciales.
