As just mentioned, Kamala Harris of California and Tim Walz of Minnesota were two of the most strident supporters of shutting down the economy – back in 2020 – including hospitals. They’ve never apologized or admitted they were wrong.

The chart below provided to us by Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institute shows that these lockdowns contributed to as many as tens of thousands of avoidable deaths. It shows that hospital utilization fell dramatically during the months of lockdowns. It validates the Unleash Prosperity seminal Covid Lessons Learned study – and our Lesson #8: “The Real Hospital Story Was Underutilization.”

Hospitals were underutilized due to lockdowns and panic – which meant delayed care, delayed treatments, and delayed screening for cancer and other killer diseases.

What scares us is that they would do it all over again, if the opportunity arose.
