This is not a 'Johns Hopkins University study;" it's an unpublished, un-peer-reviewed, 'preprint' of a working paper by a few economists. It has attracted considerable criticism for its methodological approach and its conclusions. https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/02/03/johns-hopkins-study-on-lockdowns/ https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-a-preprint-looking-at-the-impact-of-lockdowns-as-posted-on-the-john-hopkins-krieger-school-of-arts-and-sciences-website/
