Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, CNN has reported studies conducted by John Hopkins University religiously. This week, the university released a study that detailed how pandemic lockdowns didn’t save many lives, but CNN has completely ignored that study. The network chose to hide the information from its dwindling pool of viewers.

This week, a John Hopkins University study dropped a nuclear bomb on the progressive left’s strategies that shut down small businesses, created a mental health crisis, put millions of Americans into poverty and continues to cause emotional distress in school children across America.

The researchers’ analysis of “lockdown measures” included school closures, business closures, bans on international travel and internal movement, and other non-pharmaceutical government mandates such as mask mandates.

The study also found that shelter in place orders were ineffective, reducing mortality by only 2.9%.

“While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social cost,” the study concluded. “In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”

It sounds like important news to share with your viewers. That is unless you’re the sexual predators over at CNN. CNN has completely avoided the John Hopkins University study.

According to Fox News today, it wasn’t just CNN. The entire mainstream media has unified together in a media blackout of the study.

“However, the Johns Hopkins study received no mention on any of the five liberal networks this week. According to Grabien transcripts, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored the anti-lockdown findings after having spent much of the pandemic shaming red states with minimal restrictions and events deemed by critics as “superspreaders.”,” Fox News reported. “It wasn’t just the networks avoiding the study. The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, Reuters, USA Today, Axios, Politico among other outlets also turned a blind eye to the findings, according to search results. “

It hasn’t always been that way. It’s not like John Hopkins University is some conservative COVID-19 misinformation and propaganda center. CNN has always reported on the university’s findings since the pandemic began.

Here are just a few times CNN relied on the data released by John Hopkins University

To see more of CNN’s intentional news hypocrisy, all you have to do is, as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris say, “Just Google it.
