If you'll notice, the Johns Hopkins study conclusions had to do with just the U.S. and western Europe, which is not the majority of the planet. And lockdowns did reduce deaths in Europe and the U.S. I suppose the calculus is they didn't prevent enough deaths in the U.S. and Europe to make them "worthwhile."
Taking that question verbatim, nothing prevents anything because everybody (outside of Jesus of Nazareth, Osiris, and Count Dracula) dies permanently at some point.
The U.S. and western Europe, combined, have a billion people. Asia alone has 4.5 billion. Have you looked up how many lives were saved by lockdowns in Asia? If you haven't, then why not?
