stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-27--Opposition to Virus Lockdowns Mounts Among Health Experts, Drawing Support, Criticism

( Omid Ghoreishi ) An increasing number of doctors and medical professionals are joining forces to alert policy makers that lockdowns do more harm than good , saying other measures to deal with the pandemic should be adopted .
Last week , the World Health Organization ’ s special envoy on COVID-19 urged world leaders to stop using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of the CCP ( Chinese Communist Party ) virus , commonly known as the novel coronavirus .
“ We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nabarro told The Spectator in an interview aired on Oct. 9 .
“ The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize , regroup , rebalance your resources , protect your health workers who are exhausted .
But by and large , we ’ d rather not do it.
” Nabarro pointed to the collateral damage that lockdowns are having worldwide , especially among poorer populations .
“ This is a terrible , ghastly global catastrophe , actually , ” he said .
“ And so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaders : Stop using lockdown as your primary control method , develop better systems for doing it , work together and learn from each other .
But remember—lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle , and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.
” On Oct. 4 , three epidemiologists from Harvard , Oxford , and Stanford co-authored a declaration dubbed the Great Barrington Declaration , after the Massachusetts town where it was authored , saying lockdowns are causing “ irreparable damage.
” “ Coming from both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world , we have devoted our careers to protecting people .
Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short- and long-term public health , ” says the declaration , which has also faced opposition by some members of the medical community .
The declaration says lockdowns result in worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes , fewer cancer screenings , lower childhood vaccination rates , and deteriorating mental health , to name a few issues , all of which will lead to high mortality rates in the years to come .
It adds that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a grave injustice.
” Co-authors of the declaration include Dr. Martin Kulldorff , a Harvard professor and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring infectious disease ; Dr. Sunetra Gupta , an Oxford University professor and epidemiologist with expertise in immunology ; and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya , a Stanford University Medical School professor and epidemiologist with expertise in infectious disease and vulnerable populations .
The trio have asked other medical professionals , as well as members of the public , to also put their name to the declaration in an online petition .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ professors are posted at the bottom of the declaration , including Michael Levitt , biophysicist and professor at Stanford University who won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry .
As of Oct. 14 , a counter on the website shows that over 25,000 medical practitioners , around 9,500 public health scientists , and more than 440,000 members of the general public have signed the declaration .
The petition requires signatories to provide their full name , city , country , zip or postal code , and email , as well as declare if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical practitioner , or a medical and health scientist .
Some media have raised questions about the validity of some of the signatures , saying they have spotted some using fake names on the petition .
The Epoch Times could not verify the status of the signatories .
The petition website now says the list of signatories will be made available once it has been verified and approved .
The creators of the petition could not be immediately reached for comment .
The signing doctors say that instead of imposing strict lockdowns until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be on minimizing mortality and social harm until herd immunity is reached .
This is when most of a population becomes immune to an infectious disease , thus providing indirect protection to those who are not immune .
“ Fortunately , our understanding of the virus is growing .
We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young .
Indeed , for children , COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms , including influenza , ” the declaration states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should aim to protect the most vulnerable population , while allowing those who are not vulnerable to “ resume life as normal.
” “ The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity , is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection , while better protecting those who are at highest risk.
” Measures to protect the vulnerable population , the declaration says , can include examples such as minimizing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ groceries and other essentials to retired people living at home , and having the elderly meet family members outside rather than inside when possible .
Meanwhile , everyone should take simple hygiene measures such as hand-washing and staying home when sick to reduce the herd immunity threshold , the doctors say .
But young , low-risk adults should be allowed to work normally rather than from home , schools should be opened for in-person teaching , and extracurricular activities such as sports should be resumed , the declaration says .
“ Arts , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ activities should resume .
People who are more at risk may participate if they wish , while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity , ” says the declaration .
Dr. Neil Rau , a medical doctor and assistant professor at the department of medicine at the University of Toronto , says he supports the declaration , adding that lockdowns can lead to “ harsh socioeconomic consequences.
” “ I personally think that herd immunity is inevitable , rather than a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Times .
“ We need to do a … good job of testing and chasing down cases in closed or vulnerable group settings such as long-term care [ homes ] , ” he said .
The declaration , however , also has its critics .
Dr. Robert Lechler , president of the London-based Academy of Medical Sciences , criticized the declaration for not acknowledging that “ managing the virus is a near-impossible balancing act.
” “ The idea of selective protection of the elderly and vulnerable is unethical and simply not possible , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protect such a large group of people without imposing huge risks to their mental and physical health , ” he said .
“ Yes , the elderly are significantly more likely to get seriously ill from the virus , but we have seen grave impacts across all age groups.
” Dr. Irfan Dhalla , a general internist and a vice-president at Unity Health which operates two hospitals in Toronto , told the National Post that herd immunity can ’ t be reached “ without a massive loss of life or a vaccine.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 doctors wrote to Ontario Premier Doug Ford arguing against a return to lockdowns amid a rise in COVID-19 cases .
“ Lockdowns have been shown not to eliminate the virus , ” said their letter , republished in the National Post .

“ This creates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to end the lockdown , and society can not move forward in vitally important ways including in the health sector , the economy and other critically important instrumental goods including education , recreation , and healthy human social interactions , ” the letter says .

Last week, the World Health Organization’s special envoy on COVID-19 urged world leaders to stop using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” David Nabarro told The Spectator in an interview aired on Oct. 9. “The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted. But by and large, we’d rather not do it.”
Nabarro pointed to the collateral damage that lockdowns are having worldwide, especially among poorer populations.
“This is a terrible, ghastly global catastrophe, actually,” he said. “And so we really do appeal to all world leaders: Stop using lockdown as your primary control method, develop better systems for doing it, work together and learn from each other. But remember—lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer.”
On Oct. 4, three epidemiologists from Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford co-authored a declaration dubbed the Great Barrington Declaration, after the Massachusetts town where it was authored, saying lockdowns are causing “irreparable damage.”
“Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short- and long-term public health,” says the declaration, which has also faced opposition by some members of the medical community.
The declaration says lockdowns result in worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings, lower childhood vaccination rates, and deteriorating mental health, to name a few issues, all of which will lead to high mortality rates in the years to come.
It adds that “keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.”
Co-authors of the declaration include Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a Harvard professor and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring infectious disease; Dr. Sunetra Gupta, an Oxford University professor and epidemiologist with expertise in immunology; and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford University Medical School professor and epidemiologist with expertise in infectious disease and vulnerable populations.
The trio have asked other medical professionals, as well as members of the public, to also put their name to the declaration in an online petition. The names of 35 other doctors and professors are posted at the bottom of the declaration, including Michael Levitt, biophysicist and professor at Stanford University who won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
As of Oct. 14, a counter on the website shows that over 25,000 medical practitioners, around 9,500 public health scientists, and more than 440,000 members of the general public have signed the declaration.
The petition requires signatories to provide their full name, city, country, zip or postal code, and email, as well as declare if they are signing as a citizen, medical practitioner, or a medical and health scientist. Some media have raised questions about the validity of some of the signatures, saying they have spotted some using fake names on the petition. The Epoch Times could not verify the status of the signatories. The petition website now says the list of signatories will be made available once it has been verified and approved. The creators of the petition could not be immediately reached for comment.
The signing doctors say that instead of imposing strict lockdowns until a vaccine is available, focus should be on minimizing mortality and social harm until herd immunity is reached. This is when most of a population becomes immune to an infectious disease, thus providing indirect protection to those who are not immune.
“Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza,” the declaration states.

“The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk.”
Measures to protect the vulnerable population, the declaration says, can include examples such as minimizing staff rotations at nursing homes, delivering groceries and other essentials to retired people living at home, and having the elderly meet family members outside rather than inside when possible. Meanwhile, everyone should take simple hygiene measures such as hand-washing and staying home when sick to reduce the herd immunity threshold, the doctors say.
But young, low-risk adults should be allowed to work normally rather than from home, schools should be opened for in-person teaching, and extracurricular activities such as sports should be resumed, the declaration says.
“Arts, music, sport, and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity,” says the declaration.
Dr. Neil Rau, a medical doctor and assistant professor at the department of medicine at the University of Toronto, says he supports the declaration, adding that lockdowns can lead to “harsh socioeconomic consequences.”
“I personally think that herd immunity is inevitable, rather than a strategy,” Rau told The Epoch Times.
“We need to do a … good job of testing and chasing down cases in closed or vulnerable group settings such as long-term care [homes],” he said.
The declaration, however, also has its critics.
Dr. Robert Lechler, president of the London-based Academy of Medical Sciences, criticized the declaration for not acknowledging that “managing the virus is a near-impossible balancing act.”
“The idea of selective protection of the elderly and vulnerable is unethical and simply not possible, as there is no way to sustainably protect such a large group of people without imposing huge risks to their mental and physical health,” he said.
“Yes, the elderly are significantly more likely to get seriously ill from the virus, but we have seen grave impacts across all age groups.”
Dr. Irfan Dhalla, a general internist and a vice-president at Unity Health which operates two hospitals in Toronto, told the National Post that herd immunity can’t be reached “without a massive loss of life or a vaccine.”
Letter to Ford Against Lockdowns
In late September, a group of 20 doctors wrote to Ontario Premier Doug Ford arguing against a return to lockdowns amid a rise in COVID-19 cases.
“Lockdowns have been shown not to eliminate the virus,” said their letter, republished in the National Post.
The doctors, who include professors of medicine from the University of Toronto, McMaster University, and the University of Ottawa, as well as different hospitals, say lockdowns slow the spread of the virus only as long as they’re in place.
“This creates a situation where there is no way to end the lockdown, and society cannot move forward in vitally important ways including in the health sector, the economy and other critically important instrumental goods including education, recreation, and healthy human social interactions,” the letter says.
The doctors say the recent increases in cases in Ontario are in people under 60, who are unlikely to become very ill as a result of being infected with COVID-19. While those over 60 accounted for more than half of the cases during the peak of the pandemic in the province in mid-April, now they only account for less than 15 percent of the cases.
“In Ontario and other parts of the world, such as the European Union, increasing case loads are not necessarily translating into unmanageable levels of hospitalizations and ICU admissions,” the letter says.
“While we understand the concerns that these cases could spill into vulnerable communities, we also need to balance the actual risk.”
The doctors say officials should take the costs of lockdowns into consideration. This includes the negative health effects, such as the 40 percent rise in overdoses in some jurisdictions, cancelled surgeries, delayed diagnosis for cancer patients, and school closures.
“Our society has borne enormous pain over the past six months. It’s time to do something different,” the doctors write.
Meanwhile, a study published in the British Medical Journal on Oct. 7 says while initial restrictions were effective at reducing the burden in intensive care units in U.K. hospitals, maintaining the lockdowns would prolong the pandemic and increase the number of deaths.
“The model predicted that school closures and isolation of younger people would increase the total number of deaths, albeit postponed to a second and subsequent waves,” says the study, based on the data used by the British government when it imposed lockdowns in March.

We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution.

A smoky fire exploded in size to over 11 square miles (29 square kilometers) after breaking out around dawn in Orange County, south of Los Angeles. Gusts pushed flames along brushy ridges in Silverado Canyon and near houses in the sprawling city of Irvine, home to about 280,000 residents. There was no containment.
Two firefighters, one 26 and the other 31 years old, were critically injured while battling the blaze, according to the county’s Fire Authority, which didn’t provide details on how the injuries occurred. They each suffered second- and third-degree burns over large portions of their bodies and were intubated at a hospital, officials said.
Nearby, a much smaller fire in the Yorba Linda area prompted the evacuation of at least 10,000 people, officials said.
At the Irvine-area fire, Kelsey Brewer and her three roommates decided to leave their townhouse before the evacuation order came in. The question was where to go in the pandemic. They decided on the home of her girlfriend’s mother, who has ample space and lives alone.
“We literally talked about it this morning,” Brewer said, adding that she feels lucky to have a safe place to go. “We can only imagine how screwed everyone else feels. There’s nowhere you can go to feel safe.”
Helicopters dropping water and fire retardant were grounded for much of the afternoon because strong winds made it unsafe to fly. However, a large air tanker and other aircraft began making drops again several hours before sunset.
Officials didn’t immediately know the cause of the fires.
Southern California Edison shut off power to nearly 40,000 customers in six counties — which includes the wildfire areas — as a precaution against the gusts knocking down equipment or tossing tree branches into power lines and sparking blazes.

Scientists have said climate change has made California much drier, meaning trees and other plants are more flammable. October and November are traditionally the worst months for fires, but already this year 8,600 wildfires in the state have scorched a record 6,400 square miles (16,600 square kilometers) and destroyed about 9,200 homes, businesses and other buildings. There have been 31 deaths.
The electricity shutdowns marked the fifth time this year that Pacific Gas & Electric, the nation’s largest utility, has cut power to customers to reduce the risk of downed or fouled power lines or other equipment that could ignite blazes amid bone-dry weather conditions and gusty winds.
The conditions could equal those during devastating fires in California’s wine country in 2017 and last year’s Kincade Fire that devastated Sonoma County north of San Francisco last October, the National Weather Service said. Fire officials said PG&E transmission lines sparked that fire, which destroyed hundreds of homes and caused nearly 100,000 people to flee.
Many of this year’s devastating fires were started by thousands of dry lightning strikes, but some remain under investigation for potential electrical causes. While the biggest fires in California have been fully or significantly contained, more than 5,000 firefighters remain committed to 20 blazes, state fire officials said.

The ad featured several clips of Biden acting weirdly, with a voice over notifying viewers of the traits exhibited by the walking dead.
“Look for someone with a corpse like appearance, exhibits aggressive behaviour, craves human flesh, and utters incoherent moans and groans,” the voice over noted while footage of Biden doing all the above played in the background.
“With your help we can prevent the zombie uprising,” the short ad concluded.

Crowder set up on the campus of Texas Christian University and invited students to try and convince him that Barrett should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court. The roughly 40-minute part-2 video features Crowder conversing with two students over Barrett’s potential confirmation. (Watch part-1 of the series here.)
One student, who said she came in with an “open mind,” seemed to be coming around to Crowder’s view that Barrett should be confirmed to the Supreme Court when the segment ended. The next student, a political science major named Kit, argued with Crowder for most of the video that Barrett should not be put on the court, and that the Supreme Court should be “packed.”
First, Kit argued that Barrett should not be added to the court because of what the Senate, led by GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), did to former President Barack Obama’s nominee during the last year of his presidency. Crowder pointed out that there is nothing contradictory between what McConnell did then — declining to confirm the nominee of a president from the opposite party — and what McConnell is doing now, putting a nominee from a president of the same party to a vote. Each scenario has multiple examples of precedent throughout history.
After the two agreed that the president and Senate have full authority to place Barrett on the Supreme Court, Crowder moved the discussion to court packing. Kit appeared to argue that the court as it is now is not representative of the will of the people. Supreme Court justices should also represent the “will” of the president who appoints them, Kit said.
“The president represents the majority vote of the Electoral College. And so, therefore, when they elect a Supreme Court justice, if they get appointed, that will be reflective of that specific, whoever the … that will be representative of whatever the people were feeling, or believing, at that specific time. And so the justices actually are, if you just get your head around that, the justices are representatives of the people,” Kit said. “Being that they are representatives, it’s their job to represent the will of whatever administration that may have been, which, in turn, is a representation of the majority at that specific time.”
Crowder proceeded to deconstruct Kit’s argument and assert that what Kit argued was not only wrong, but dangerous.
“What you have just expressed is very scary for a litany of reasons, and those reasons are, when combined with your idea of court packing and this notion that the job of a Supreme Court appointee is to exclusively represent the view of the executive who nominated them, that is why it is not simply an executive who actually elects them,” Crowder said, later adding: “He can nominate and it can be confirmed by the Senate because the Supreme Court is not meant to be a governing body. It is meant to be, exclusively, separate and apart from the House of Congress, from the Senate, from the United States presidency, to be impartial.”
“It is not meant to represent the majority will of the people. It is meant to interpret the Constitution,” Crowder continued. “If you have this ill-conceived notion, I would argue, that their job is to represent [the will] of the executive who nominated them, and that we should increase the number of these people under, what? The authority of an executive who would nominate more, that is an absolute recipe for an authoritarian regime.”

The documentary was shot in a kelp forest off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa.
For many of us, getting outdoors is a stress reliever. For some, appreciating nature can even be a spiritual connection to the universe.
The Cut’s description of the film being “the love story that we need right now” is a great description of this incredible inter-species tale.
The story focuses on the amazing bond formed between a wild octopus and Foster, who uses free-diving in the icy Atlantic ocean to counter career exhaustion and depression.
GAINING TRUST FROM THE OCTOPUS
Foster certainly connected in a way that not many thought possible as his unlikely friendship with the octopus blossomed as he slowly built up trust. Once the animal accepted him, an incredible new world was revealed.
“If you gain the trust of that animal over a period of months, it will actually ignore you to a certain degree and carry on with its normal life, and allow you to step inside its secret world,” the diver said. “The octopus showed me many behaviors that were completely new to science because this animal trusted me.”
Highlights of the award-winning movie include the octopus outwitting a pajama shark, shape-shifting to resemble seaweed and rocks and some ingenious hunting strategies.
But more than anything it’s about the incredible bond which Foster and the octopus enjoy.
It culminates in the creature nestling up on his chest.
“A lot of people say that an octopus looks like an alien. But the strange thing is, we’re very similar in a lot of ways,” said Foster.
“What she taught me to feel was that you are a part of this place, not a visitor.”

Specifically, YouTube says that it is targeting “conspiracy theories” contending that the vaccine agenda has a nefarious purpose, such as sterilisation, depopulation, or mass surveillance.
In an email obtained by Reuters, the company announced that it will remove content that “promotes misinformation” about COVID-19 vaccines.
It defines “misinformation” as anything which contradicts guidance from government health authorities or the World Health Organization, So any opinion that doesn’t match what the authorities say, basically.
The company told reporters that it will allow videos covering “broad concerns” over the vaccine to remain on the platform.
This latest move is more of the same from YouTube, which is already removing any videos that encourage viewers not to wear masks or adhere to social distancing rules, as well as “medically unsubstantiated” methods of treatment.
YouTube boasted in the email that it has already removed over 200,000 videos containing “dangerous or misleading COVID-19 information”.
The company appears to be taking direct orders from the World Health Organisation.
Andy Pattison, manager of digital solutions at the WHO, told Reuters that the global body meets with the policy team at YouTube every single week to discuss what content has become popular, and what is potentially “problematic”.
Reuters notes that YouTube has said it will be announcing more steps in the coming weeks to “emphasize authoritative information about COVID-19 vaccines on the site.”
YouTube’s latest censorship move comes just hours after Bill Gates again complained that he has become the target of ‘baseless anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories’ that have gained ground in recent months.
"Two people who are most targeted are Dr. Fauci and myself in terms of do we have some malign reason to think vaccines are important," says @BillGates on #COVID19 conspiracy theories. "That's unfortunate particularly if it undermines the mask wearing." pic.twitter.com/ye8AgvyUBZ — Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) October 14, 2020
Youtube’s crackdown also comes amid a furore over Facebook and Twitter censoring content relating to Joe Biden’s foreign lobbying scandal. Both social media companies are also actively censoring posts and videos containing content that contradicts WHO and government statements and stances on the coronavirus.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-28--34,000 Scientists & Doctors Sign Declaration Strongly Opposing COVID Lockdowns

( Arjun Walia ) A few days ago we published an article about “ The Great Barrington Declaration.
” At the time of publication , the declaration had approximately 16,000 signatures from doctors & scientists from around the world opposing lockdown measures as a way to combat COVID-19 .
The declaration also had approximately 150,000 signatures from concerned citizens .
Now , just 5 days later after publishing that article , the declaration has 447,829 signatures from concerned citizens , 9,540 signatures from medical & public health scientists & 25,146 signatures from medical practitioners .
Related Dinesh D ’ Souza @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pawing and Sniffing Little Girls Takes on Ominous New Significance According to the declaration : “ Covid-19 is less dangerous than many other harms , including influenza .
As immunity builds in the population , the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls .

According to the declaration:
“Covid-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza. As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity… Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.”
You can read their entire statement here and see a list of some of the signees, as well as sign it yourself. In the picture above, you will see from left to left see a few of the initiators behind the declaration:
Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations. Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.
In my previous article when the declaration had only 16,000 signatures, I explain why this is important and provide as brief takeaway. I also provide multiple examples of the world’s top scientists in the field who are share the same perspective as The Barrington Declaration based on science and data. You can read that article here if interested.
You can watch a video with some of the scientists below sharing why they feel the way they feel.
The Takeaway: It’s been quite intriguing to see so many scientists and doctors completely oppose the recommendations and claims made by the World Health Organization (WHO) since the beginning of this pandemic. What’s even more shocking for lots of people is the fact that many scientists and doctors have been completely censored for sharing their research and opinion regarding anything to do with COVID if it opposes the information and recommendations set out by the WHO. Social media outlets have been complicit in this activity and have also been heavily criticized for it. Michael Levitt, a Biophysicist and a professor of structural biology at Stanford University, is one of many who criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as Facebook for censoring different information and informed perspectives regarding the Coronavirus. According to him, “the level of stupidity going on here is amazing.”
All of this has contributed to COVID being a catalyst for people to start questioning what’s really happening in our world, and why is there so much conflicting information from such credible sources?
