A professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is warning politicians, teachers unions, and other Americans that keeping schools closed is causing more harm to children than COVID-19.
A new study, Dr. Marty Makary explained to Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on Tuesday evening, suggests a 91 percent increase in self-harm in children due to lockdowns. In areas with strict government-mandated lockdowns and prolonged school closures, he explained, saw a 300 percent increase in kids seeking medical help after engaging in forms of self-harm. Makary said research also shows a 63 percent increase in overdoses and a large spike in emergency room visits due to “mental illness complaints.”
