It’s hard to consider .2% reduction in mortality non-significant. Nearly 6 million people have died from COVID as of now. 0.2% of that is nearly 12,000 lives. Calling SIPOs ineffective as well because they only reduced mortality by 2.9% is a bit deceptive since that is nearly 174,000 lives.

Also, this study only measures impacts of lockdowns on Covid mortality, and doesn't include the human and financial costs of lockdowns.
