Here are three brave doctors/scientists who have spoken up and out about the covid and the restrictions imposed on the masses.
After the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration spoke to White House officials last week opens in a new tab or window, the scientific community immediately called into question the declaration as well as the scientists who wrote it.
The declaration opens in a new tab or window, a statement written by three public health experts from Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, encouraging governments to lift lockdown restrictions on young and healthy people while focusing protection measures on the elderly. This would allow COVID-19 to spread in a population where it is less likely to be deadly, the authors state, encouraging widespread immunity that is not dependent on a vaccine.
Restrictions have caused other harms, including lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings, and deteriorating mental health, they argue.
After gaining some publicity, this strategy was strongly denounced by many in the scientific community opens in a new tab or window. While it supposedly received 8,000 signatures from public health experts and doctors, news outlets later revealed that some of those signatures were fake.
The declaration was supported by the American Institute for Economic Research, a libertarian, free-market think tank headquartered in western Massachusetts, known for its attacks on climate change.
While the scientists who wrote the declaration claim they represent both right- and left-wing politics, all have attempted to influence governments to end lockdowns since the start of the pandemic.
