The Barrington Declaration against the lockdown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz_Z7Gf1aRE&t=549s

This is a concrete case of attempted destruction of a an advice that seeks to warn the world’s public, that the current unnecessary scaremongering about the coronavirus is creating ‘devastating health effects, both short and long term’. The Barrington Declaration calls on States around the world to cease measures of confinement and cessation of the former normal life, at all levels!

Google, as the best exponent of mainstream-media, directed from a power dome, like almost all the media, makes a closed fire attack against this Declaration, with all kinds of non-scientific arguments, disqualifying it without a single voice of support on the first three pages of Google, that is, on all of them. The same can be seen in Wikipedia. Furthermore, the Declaration was silenced in all main-stream media.

All this suggests that what is being sought, therefore, is not the health and good of the people, but something else. That is why we cannot be surprised that there is so much protest in the streets, through videos and alternative media, because people are becoming afraid, not so much of the virus, but of the totalitarian attitudes even of states with a great democratic tradition, such as Germany. Throughout Europe, and lately also in Spain and Latin America, thousands of doctors are increasingly raising their voices, to warn citizens of this black cloud that is hanging over them, which demands obedience to vaccination, to the planned digitalization of money, to endure the radiation damage of the G5 and to allow themselves to be implanted with the infernal chip of total control of the individual person.

The following is the citation from the Great Barrington Declaration, signed by forty top scientific authorities of different countries:

 

The Great Barrington Declaration

The Great Barrington Declaration – As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

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. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.

Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

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.

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.

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. We call this Focused Protection.

Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent PCR testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals.

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.

On October 4, 2020, this declaration was authored and signed in Great Barrington, United States, by:

Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring 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.
