EFL Statement: Bristol Rovers

But it's all 'was', isn't it? The same University of Mainz who has distanced itself from him for his views. Germany's experts with Medical Tribune have literally called him out for being "unscientific". 

Face it, he may have been good in his day, but now he's a 74 year old crack pot who's lost it. All his previous achievements and institutions abandon him for his views, yet you're trying to use them as weight for his views. Do you not see how backwards that is? If you want to keep giving weight to the places he's been, then you have to accept what they say about him now.

Remind me again pirate, what a Biologist knows about the economic effects of a lockdown? 

I get the feeling we are racists if we don't favour black people. Sorry I think of everyone as equal, if that makes me a racist that's great.

You know Al, in your heart, that this is not true.

Not my experience Al,

Yeah you might think of every one as equal or just simply not discriminate, which is great and good on you Al.

Unfortunately there is an element of society that doesn't like anyone different to them, and actively discriminate.

Are you saying you have never heard anyone say anything derogatory against another just because of their race?

I've stated my opinion numerous times. The lockdowns have been disproportionate and likely to cause more harm than the virus itself. Isolate people with symptoms and protect the vulnerable and at risk groups.

Can you name a country that has done that. Kept the country open for business and managed the virus well.

I read that previously and at no point does it provide any evidence to refute Professor Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi.

But you seem too hold this University of such high stature, but now it goes against your rhetoric - it's a difference of opinion? Ok let's look at it from a different direction, the quote you pulled from Bhakdi, can you please show me where you pulled it from? We'll see if he's giving scientific reasoning for the University of Mainz to shoot down.

Because as far as I see it, where is Bhakdi's scientific evidence that a lockdown is "grotesque, absurd and very dangerous"? 

There is literature everywhere of how a lock down prevents a disease from spreading. Are you really questioning that? You're quoting a retired Covid conspiracy theorist who has shown no scientific evidence of his claims and presenting them as fact. You did the same with your other scientist a few weeks ago in the Pfizer thread too. 

Yes a lockdown will have economic effects, no one is saying it wouldn't. It's about finding a balance, your "scientists" that you're quoting aren't suggesting finding something in the middle, they're suggesting Covid is a hoax, the numbers aren't real, the vaccine won't make a difference and Covid is no worse than the flu. Where is the scientific evidence to back up any of those claims? 

I asked earlier in the thread what would happen if we lost 1% of the British population in a year. Well funnily enough, that would be roughly the amount of job losses we've seen. Would it be better for people to lose jobs and be put on furlough, or die? What about next year? And the year after?
