Covid-19: Group of UK and US experts argues for “focused protection” instead of lockdowns

Thousands of medical practitioners and public health scientists have signed a declaration arguing for an alternative public health approach to dealing with covid-19.

^{The BMJ}

Phew just got done a two hour video of a post for tomorrow.

Can't wait to show you guys.

Definitely just spontaneous discussion etc. no planned messaging or propaganda in my two hour video which I filmed before I drafted a tweet.

Just usual ordinary run of mill stuff

Just happened to stumble on the feed of the "independent reporter" who asked the questions at the GBD videotaped get together. Of course it's full of minimization.

Hat tip to the propagandists.

Just say whatever, shamelessly and sociopathically. 😉

Strauss was a medical officer of health in Ontario.

They're paid about 200,000 to $300,000 a year. This fellow employ the right wing rage machine schtick of "gov bad, I'm on your side."

Anyway, here he is defending Baral.

What would be the possible reasons for him to do that? Let's make a list.
- knows him personally
- receiving a benefit
- share political views

When he left his post he promoted ALL the right wing medical personnel. He knows which side the butter is on.

Kwadwo promoted.

As example Kwadwo did the whole "kids need to go back to school" thing, rage farmed up into a position to fight about.

Sometimes they just say it out loud 🤡

Baral saying his tweet got him promoted.

GBD thread to collect up some references.

I'll move it over here when I can.

nitter.net/jmcrookston/status/…

One might describe this as "incorrect" (as to what "herd" means).

But since it is propaganda, it is actually "correct" (to his aims).

It is simply a veneer of science and a veneer of biological reality to support a "back to work at all costs" push.

Letter written by a bunch of scientists Sept 2020, basically espousing GBD tenets.

I posted the list of names so you know who to ignore.

mastodon.social/@jmcrookston/1…

You don't have to debate the Great Barrington declaration because it wasn't a bona fide strategy.

It was signed at the AIER grounds with video'd documentary at launch, and money behind it. It was to reopen business.

& on the merits, simply, there's no herd immunity to coronas.

AIER sponsored them, as I said. Here's AIER's wikipedia page.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ…

AIER statements and publications downplay the scientific consensus on climate change and portray the risks as minor and manageable,[9] with titles such as "What Greta Thunberg Forgets About Climate Change", "The Real Reason Nobody Takes Environmental Activists Seriously" and "Brazilians Should Keep Slashing Their Rainforest".[10][11]

[12]The institution has also funded research on the comparative benefits that sweatshops supplying multinationals bring to the people working in them.[13]
[14]Etc

I am fine to name new variants after GBD authors, as I (and @EricCarroll too) said

mastodon.social/@jmcrookston/1…

Jeffrey Tucker.

He seems ... completely even keeled.

He arranged the Great Barrington Declaration through AEIR complete with video documentary and champagne on release day.

Sunetra Gupta, playing poor scientist who just wants to exchange ideas, hard done by people saying the ideas are stupid.

On a piece published on the AIER website.

Hah.

She went on to set up Collateral Global charity to further those goals ... very hard done by indeed.

Her main upset appears to be that a TV producer told her she couldn't mention the GBD on the show

She seemed by her own account to be able to stand her ground with him/her. Yet is a babe in the woods otherwise, with hurt feelings to boot. On the AEIR site

Show your bank acct :)

Hysteria certainly turned out to be a well-played (and over-played) piece of PR.

Just another in a long line of games to be put in the handbook for the next pandemic, so people are aware what is to come.

Here are Heneghan and Jefferson doing the same on their Substack. (They both work for Oxford 🤣)

It's the requisite "I'm doing good work and am being attacked for my conclusions not because I'm an idiot but because of some conspiracy against me. Please donate now" post

Jefferson himself lists as a conflict as being funded by Collateral Global (Gupta and Caccia).

But back to Collateral Global which always focuses on the science.

Definitely not just whipping up people's anger for more donations. 🤡

Haha

If I could donate to me I would definitely donate to me and you should do too! 🤡

Faculty Senate condemns COVID-19 actions of Hoover’s Scott Atlas

In its last meeting of the autumn quarter, the Stanford Faculty Senate condemned the COVID-19-related actions of Hoover senior fellow and presidential adviser Scott Atlas.

^{news.stanford.edu}

"In his comments on the issue, President Marc Tessier-Lavigne said he was “deeply troubled by the views by Dr. Atlas, including his call to ‘rise up’ in Michigan.” Tessier-Lavigne noted that Atlas later clarified his statements, but he said that the tweet “was widely interpreted as an undermining of local health authorities, and even a call to violence.”" "

Sure, "clarified".

Scott Atlas then went on to publish a garbage bin of disinformation book. Which, of course, was published through right wing media

theguardian.com/us-news/2021/n…

"His book, A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop Covid from Destroying America, will be published on 7 December. Its publisher is Bombardier Books, an imprint of PostHill Press, a conservative outlet that will also publish a memoir by Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s fourth press secretary."

By the way Atlas' book is published by Liberatio Protocol LLC, which was set up by Jeffrey Wernick and Dan Bongino because

"The cancel culture, woke, Robespierre-like mob has substituted deplatforming, dehumanizing, demonizing and demonetizing for the guillotine in their digital inquisition against all who dissent. So many have suffered the consequences associated with their Reign of Terror."

web.archive.org/web/*/bongino.…

Bongino, you may recall [ed. hopefully not] is an ex secret service officer turned far right radio host who promoted the conspiracy that Obama spied on Trump.

He's worth about 150 million now, because stealing and lying to disenfranchised Americans pays.

They set up their own payment system because Silicon Valley's is setting up a Communist credit score [ed. what? I need to drink the Kool Aid to understand.]

"Dan and I are ... investing our time and money to build an ecosystem where freedom and liberty resides, unlike that of the Masters of the Universe in Silicon Valley who want to manipulate you and are designing their own social credit score modeled after the Communist Party of China.
...
They spy on us 24/7, stripping us of all dignity, humanity and privacy while not only manipulating everyone and pillaging and plundering our personal data."

In other words, WE should be plundering you, not them
