Lockdown Interview with Former Pfizer CSO

I'd suggest protecting the vulnerable i.e. suggest to the elderly and at at risk groups with underlying health conditions that they shield and let them make their own informed decision whether to do it or not. People most at risk are the ones with those underlying health conditions and the average age of people sadly dying is 80-years-old. The vast majority that catch it are fine.

As you clearly find it difficult to take in, I'll explain my reasoning again just for you. Hopefully it will be simple enough for someone like you to understand.

The vast majority of healthy people under the age 80 suffer no serious ill effects from Covid-19 and the the people that are most affected are people with underlying health conditions. The average age of people dying is 80-years-old, so therefore those people at risk are the ones that should be advised (not forced) to shield and let the rest of us get on with our lives.

Crashing the economy with a disproportionate lockdown won't help anyone as it's likely to do more long term harm than good with the extra avoidable cancer and dementia deaths, suicides, heart attacks, and all the other ailments that will increase as a direct result of lockdown, a number predicted to be far higher than those dying with Covid-19 itself.

"Only 6% of these died solely of the coronavirus, according to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report; the rest had, on average, 2.6 underlying conditions"

6% of 150,000 = 9,000 

Back around the time of the start of the second lockdown 32 scientists, economists and other academics wrote to the Prime Minister demanding a change in policy on Covid-19, saying that attempting to suppress the virus is ‘increasingly infeasible’. They have instead demanded that vulnerable groups should be protected from the disease while younger people should be allowed to get on with their lives. 12,115 medical & public health scientists and 35,238 medical practitioners have now signed the Great Barrington Declaration.

This is getting laughable now. So because somebody has asthma or diabetes we can dismiss their covid death can we? 50,000k dead but half had high blood pressure? What do you know about underlying conditions?

Excess death rate 75000 now I think .
That’s not so bad is it Pirate ?

With all of the garbage on the internet, you just aren't going to get far by linking to dodgy image boards, the gutter of the internet (yes, even below football forums)

Handy for people to know that the link they may be unwittingly clicking on is from a site that may contain right wing racist views and other hateful things that bristol rovers wouldn't want to be associated with in any way.

Yeah the Dr/scientist makes points which absolutely need to be listened to & discussed, surely he has written researched medical articles/books on the subject?

Twitter is a moderated platform, and your argument there is odd to say the least.

I’d happily say it to your face pirate .

Ps have you read who’s signed the great Barrington declaration?


An open letter that made headlines calling for a herd immunity approach to Covid-19 lists a number of apparently fake names among its expert signatories, including “Dr Johnny Bananas” and “Professor Cominic Dummings”.
The Great Barrington declaration, which was said to have been signed by more than 15,000 scientists and medical practitioners around the world, was found by Sky News to contain numerous false names, as well as those of several homeopaths.
Others listed include a resident at the “university of your mum” and another supposed specialist whose name was the first verse of the Macarena.
Scientists call for Covid herd immunity strategy for young
Sky News discovered 18 self-declared homeopaths in the list of expert names and more than 100 therapists whose expertise included massage, hypnotherapy and Mongolian khoomii singing.
The declaration drew widespread attention this week when it called for an easing of lockdown measures, allowing most people to return to normal life while protecting the most vulnerable.

Individual academics from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Sussex and York were among experts from around the world who signed the declaration. However, the declaration’s website allows anyone to add their name to the list if they provide an email address, home city, postcode and name.
Signatories also tell the site whether they are medical and public health scientists, medical practitioners or members of the general public – of whom almost 160,000 claim to have signed.
It is not clear how many of the names in the declaration’s list of experts are fake, or when they appeared. However, many scientists have already criticised the letter’s conclusions.
Dr Michael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at the University of Southampton, said the declaration was “a very bad idea” and doubted that vulnerable people would be able to avoid the virus if it was allowed to become widespread.

“Ultimately, the Barrington Declaration is based on principles that are dangerous to national and global public health,” said Head.
Prof Jeremy Rossman, of the University of Kent, pointed out that research suggested protective antibody responses might “decay rapidly” and that there have been cases of reinfection of the virus.
The chief executive of NHS England, Sir Simon Stevens, has said asking all over-65s to shield to slow the transmission of the second wave of coronavirus would be “age-based apartheid”.
The declaration has also been accused of ignoring the growing evidence on long Covid, whereby thousands of fit and young people who contract the virus have been left with debilitating symptoms months after a mild infection.

The declaration calls for an approach it describes as “focused protection”, arguing that keeping lockdowns in place until a vaccine is available “will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed”.

He posts nonsense. I rip it apart .

Rinse , repeat .
