The “Non-science” of the Lockdown and the imposed curfew and the battle of Borghi and Dragons for a game of power

Last week we saw a series of interesting televised motorcycle comparisons on the subject of the Lockdown. At the center of the discourse is the effectiveness of the lockdown: this economically devastating measure serves or not, to contain the virus.

Up to now this measure has been imposed apodictically. the "Want so there where you can what you want, and no longer ask" seemed written by Dante not for Virgil, but for all the Italians who wondered about the usefulness of draconian measures to contain the virus from 2020 that put them, often, in misery for the closure of their businesses.

So someone, also on the basis of the first scientific studies, began to question the thing, but, of course, he found himself against the wall of rubber and verbal violence of the "Chiusuristi" and of those who, having the covered place and the sitting in the heat, supports them with an impressive continuity and constancy: the journalists and the like. The most evident case was the participation of Claudio Borghi first and then Fabio Dragoni in Piazza Pulita, a pure left-wing propaganda program conducted by the partisan, in a deleterious sense, Formigli.

First Crisantis-Borghi battle. Borghi cites a paper by the American researcher Ioannidis on the effects of the lockdown, which would be much lower than what we expect. You can find our article on the paper here.Crisanti attacks Borghi saying that the paper is wrong, and Ionnidis withdrew it. Absolutely not true and, quite rightly, he calls the neurologist who goes on TV a liar. Crisanti will resent and judge himself "Novello Galileo Galilei" …

The week after to go to the Lions' den of those who want Italy in chains is Fabio Dragoni.

Of course Formigli could NOT be correct and had prepared an interview with Ioannidis built exactly with the aim of falsifying Broghi's statements, too bad that, despite the bias of the interviewer, he doesn't succeed….

In the end Ioannidis confirms that:

• the mortality of the Covi-19 is much lower than you think;
• that it is much higher in the elderly, who would be the ones to be protected;
• that lockdown measures have a decreasing effectiveness with the passage of time

In reality, the results of the paper are complex, but they certainly DO NOT justify the indefinite continuation of the lockdowns and, if ever they recommend limiting mass events, certainly not closing restaurants.

However, the scientific writings that question the effectiveness of the Lockdown are manifold. For example, Fabio Dragoni lists well over 50 in this interview:

Of course this will not affect the certainties of the various Gauls, Chrysants and Hope, as it will not with the overpaid TV journalists. These are the real viruses that kill knowledge and politics, because they poison the possibility of a true democratic and scientific confrontation. All people with their asses warm and aiming exclusively at an increase in their personal power.
