CANADIAN DOC DEBUNKS COVID FATALITY RATE

Would the average person believe that the median fatality rate for COVID for those under 70 years old is 0.05 percent?
Yes, if you read the data we have provided in the Trends Journal. A newly released peer-reviewed study by Dr. Ari Joffe, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, Canada, says just that. Joffe’s paper, “Rethinking the Lockdown Groupthink,” also states that repercussion harms of the COVID lockdowns are ten times greater than any quantifiable benefits. Joffe’s paper reports:

“Initial data falsely suggested that the infection fatality rate was up to 2-3 percent, that over 80 percent of the population would be infected, and modelling suggested repeated lockdowns would be necessary… But emerging data showed that the median infection fatality rate is 0.23%, that the median infection fatality rate in people under 70 years old is 0.05%, and that the high-risk group is older people especially those with severe co-morbidities.”

Meanwhile, the associated damage of lockdowns has had quite severe effects according to Joffe, who is also a clinical professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta in Canada. 
Joffe said that emerging data on the subject of lockdowns – and their consequences – show a shocking set of so-called “collateral damage” issues caused by the lockdowns. He estimates that millions of people globally could be adversely affected by a continuation of the practice.
Among his findings:

• Food insecurity (82 to 132 million)
• Severe poverty (70 million)
• Maternal and under age-5 mortality from interrupted healthcare (1.7 million)
• Infectious diseases deaths from interrupted services (millions with tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV)
• School closures for children (affecting children’s future earning potential and lifespan)
• Interrupted vaccination campaigns for millions of children
• Intimate partner violence for millions of women

TRENDPOST: The Canadian expert cannot easily be dismissed as a partisan on the subject. He was, actually, an early proponent of lockdowns. Yet, this information and analysis are silenced in the mainstream media, and, instead, a general public lives in fear of dying from the coronavirus.
