Jay Bhattacharya on Lockdowns and the Great Barrington Declaration

Stanford Public Health professor Jay Bhattacharya interviewed by Peter Robinson at the Hoover Institute. The man who was lead co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which in August 2020 suggested that a better approach would be Focused Protection. Thousands of scientists signed the Declaration. I signed it. 

It turns out he was correct. At the very least, I would say he was more correct, the Barrington Declaration was more correct, than the policy of Fauci and Collins. At the very least. More like: it was way more correct. And we would have been much better off had we followed Focused Protection. 

In the US they’ve had a Covid Commission which Jay says was a Whitewash. If we have something similar in Hong Kong, I fear that we too will be a whitewash. There is simply too much invested in what was already done: the massive intervention by government, to lock people down, to lock down a people who welcomed being locked down. For that is that sad thing, folks. In the  UK polls show that the majority of people thing lockdowns were just fine and would expect them to be implemented again, if there’s another pandemic. Same here in Hong Kong. Same in Australia. Same in a lot of places. Despite the fact that the evidence shows that these lockdowns had zero to no effect. As I showed yesterday. I’ve given up hoping that data will influence people; that the Science will really be what people follow. No, it’s emotions. And people feel nice being locked down. They’re “doing something”. Like signing a petition.
