Like the prof, I too was startled at the reaction to the GBD. The reaction ought to have been to discuss it and its recommendations, which were, in short -- focussed protection. Just as we have done with every previous pandemic in history. But somehow folks had already committed themselves to Non Medical Interventions -- aka Lockdowns -- and anything else suggested was seen to be heresy and even "dangerous". So, the GBD, and prof Jay, were demonised and vilified. 

Time has shown the "focussed protection" route to be the better. That's what we've followed in the roll-out of the vaccines, after all: first then elderly and Health workers, then gradually down the age ranges. Focussed.

Here in this video, Freddy Sayers has an interesting conversation with Prof Bhattacharia, full of nuance and careful statements of the science.

Prof Bhattacharia is professor of Medicine at Stanford. Not a nutter, iow.
