BARRINGTON DECLARATION: Tens of Thousands Of Scientists, Doctors Urge END ‘DEVASTATING LOCKDOWNS,’ More Deadly Than COVID
At last, the medical and science communities tell the truth despite intimidation, harassment and ruin from the Democrat media complex.
15,000 scientists and doctors worldwide have signed a newly created document urging an end to pandemic lockdowns, arguing that the policies aimed at curtailing the novel coronavirus have produced “devastating” effects on public health.
“DEVASTATING” COLLATERAL DAMAGE INCLUDES ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE, SOCIAL HARM, AND A LACK OF SCHOOLING FOR CHILDREN.
The Great Barrington Declaration, which was released Tuesday and continues to gather signatures, was spearheaded by doctors from Harvard, Stanford and Oxford University.
Lockdowns are more deadly and dangerous than COVID, according to the Declaration.
In Great Barrington, scientists declare policy for living with COVID: Shield only the most vulnerable for herd immunity

Scientists converge at summit in Great Barrington, pen declaration for COVID policy
GREAT BARRINGTON — Three top scientists say there’s another public health crisis underway, and it is the poor and working class who suffer the most from a COVID-19 policy that also is slowing development of herd immunity.
They say the rise in mental health and substance abuse problems, as well as excess deaths and other medical problems from lack of care, are the result of seven months of lockdowns meant to stop the virus.
A flawed gospel of risk that has been leveraged by politicians, they add, is ruinous to public health as a whole.
And they say they have a better plan: “Focused Protection.”
This would expand and fortify ways to shield those most vulnerable to death from infection, while allowing the least vulnerable to live normally and build immunity that will ultimately better-protect the old and weak.
This, they say, will also reduce “devastating” collateral damage that includes economic catastrophe, social harm, and a lack of schooling for children.
In a whirlwind summit at the American Institute for Economic Research last week, three infectious disease epidemiologists drafted and signed the Great Barrington Declaration to propose the idea and launched it online for signatures.
As of Wednesday, more than 8,000 medical and public health scientists and medical professionals have signed it; as well as more than 76,000 from the general public.
The scientists are Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University; Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University; and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford University professor. All three are epidemiologists.
They say ancillary effects of the lockdowns 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”
They say it is a “grave injustice” to keep students from school, and that the poor are most affected.
“Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”
When the pandemic hit the U.S. in mid-March, strategies to “bend the curve” of escalating infection have turned into a protracted shutdown of normal life that appears to be continuing until an effective vaccine is ready.

Thousands of scientists urge end to ‘devastating’ lockdowns
Document cites impact on public health, calls for ‘focused protection’
By Valerie Richardson – The Washington Times – Thursday, October 8, 2020
About 15,000 scientists and doctors worldwide have signed a newly created document urging an end to pandemic lockdowns, arguing that the policies aimed at curtailing the novel coronavirus have produced “devastating” effects on public health.
The Great Barrington Declaration, which was released Tuesday and continues to gather signatures, was spearheaded by doctors from Harvard, Stanford and Oxford University.
“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,” said the declaration.

“Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people,” said the declaration. “Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health.”
They 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.”
The three lead signatories, who authored the declaration in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, are Harvard professor of medicine Dr. Martin Kulldorf; Oxford epidemiologist Dr. Sunetra Gupta, and Stanford Medical School professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.

Not to mention the deadly effects of extreme social isolation and its mental affects on the already brainwashed people that believe everything what the mainstream media narrative says. The research on extreme social isolation has been conducted numerous times over the decades. I’m not that big of fan with NASA, but it did find that in the early days of orbital space areas that were extremely confined lead to astronauts needing to not be claustrophobic to conduct its duties in times of distress.
