The Great Barrington Declaration, unfortunately cancelled by mass media and the people in power.

So, if they don't die in the first wave of COVID, they need to die of underfunding? I mean sterilizing immunity through infection is now known (through many thousands of documented re-infections and likely hundreds of millions) to be both irresponsible and a failure. However, if the goal was to reduce the long term cost of the British medical system through the death of it's oldest and most expensive, then perhaps there is still hope by simply reducing funds?

  > I mean sterilizing immunity through infection is now known (through many thousands of documented re-infections and likely hundreds of millions) to be both irresponsible and a failure. Infection is documented at being more effective at protecting you from reinfection and from having serious complications from a subsequent infection. Let's not pretend that the Great Barrington Declaration was necessarily wrong, given the suffering supply chain disruptions are now causing, not to mention the excess deaths from untreated conditions and increases in substance abuse. Only hindsight will give us a proper understanding of which choices were better.

Don't worry, in 5 years we will likely read how those in charge then spoke out but we're silenced and how they knew all along and fought the good fight for us in their ivory towers... It was a simple mathematic close airports not schools of you're so concerned but the past is now behind us. Oh and did you know the GBD was secretly funded by evil big right wing oil against the family friendly big pharma with asbestos in the talc and roundup in your food... (Sorry I think I got a bit cynical even for this topic)
