As the Trends Journal has reported, The Great Barrington Declaration, first released on 4 October, is a call by medical and scientific experts to end the global lockdowns and start initiating a policy of “Focused Protection.”
Every week since first posting online, thousands of additional scientists, physicians and public health officials have signed on. To date, there are over 37,000 signatures.
One of the recent medical professionals signing on is Boris Kotchoubey, Professor of Medical Psychology at the University of Tubingen in Germany, wrote: “The German government forbids theaters and restaurants, although there is not the slightest evidence that anybody has been infected in such places because all of them had highly developed sanitary concepts (since May all seats in theaters are at least 2 meters from each other, the same in restaurants).
We know more or less where the infection is spread. Big events like sports and rock concerts, crowded parties, activities in closed rooms, public transportation, particularly in big cities, last, but not least invasion of the infection in retirement homes.
Efficient measures should be directed to the prevention of infection in THESE situations.”
Professor Kotchoubey told a journalist from Just the News, “Anti-Corona measures in all countries that I know (mostly, West Europe) are non-directed, imprecise and, therefore, yield more damage than the disease itself.”
Hard Data & Bona Fide Statistics Tell the Story
Rodney Sturdivant, Associate Professor of Statistical Science at Baylor University who signed the Great Barrington Declaration recently said, “An important public health principle is to not ignore the totality of public health with fixation on a single aspect. The consequences of doing so is catastrophic. We are already seeing the impacts: mental health issues, missed cancer treatments, missed immunizations, hunger, drug overdose, domestic abuse, incredible harm to children… the list is tragically long and preventable.”
Professor Sturdivant, along with Andrew Glen, professor of statistics at the U.S. Military Academy and Mark Arvidson, a mathematics professor at Azusa Pacific University wrote an article published in the Dallas Morning Star on 18 October: “We have watched, with surprise and dismay, as mandates and policies designed to contain the spread of COVID-19 increasingly depart from the actual data and science. As a result, those most vulnerable to the disease continue to die, while the least vulnerable continue to suffer the mental, emotional and financial impacts of the lockdown.
Sadly, the fear produced by misreporting of the data and the way we count ‘cases’ and ‘deaths’ is problematic, while the actual risk of death from COVID-19 is much lower than first thought.
Those with no comorbidities have a negligible risk of death. The risk for people over 70 is well over 1,000 times as great as for those under age 70. Thus, it is clear that those over age 70 require focused protection.”
TRENDPOST: Despite being signed by nearly 40,000 doctors, scientists, and public health officials, The Great Barrington Declaration is ignored by the mainstream media, and when mentioned dismissed as unscientific and/or signed by conspiracy theorists. Instead, the 24/7 blast from the Presstitutes is “Beware, Stay Safe… the coronavirus is out to kill you. (See our 13 October article, “THE GREAT BARRINGTON DECLARATION: NO COVID FEAR.”)
