    Interesting stuff coming from these doctors and scientists at Stanford university. This shutdown should have ended long ago.

    “As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists, we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies,” the declaration states. “The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk.”

    Of course there is no real way to protect "at risk" folks if everyone else is walking around with the virus.

    Oh and we keep hearing that lockdowns were only supposed to alleviate pressure on hospitals. That was false. There was much more to it than that but guess what?

    With the opening of schools and easing restrictions on bars and restaurants and general sloppiness in mitigation...the virus is roaring back and hospitals are again becoming overwhelmed.

    In essence you folks are FORCING more lockdowns

    Are you sure about that? That certainly is how it always seemed here. After Italian Doctors and Nurses started crying about having to just leave over 65's with pain medication to die is when the West seriously started thinking about lockdowns. The Tory Government in the uk and your Governement with Trump wanted Herd immunity. I read several times that that was why they decided on lockdown so I am the person who says that. I am not convinced the motivation was anything else....but when Johnson and friends were told that there likely would be 400,000 deaths in the UK without a lockdown, they decided that that was probably more than the British people would accept and moved to lockdown. ..so numbers of death and keep hospitals not overwhelmed seemed to be the reason

    Now I think there is as much motivation over 'long covid' as over keeping older people and those with co-morbidies from dying. This is a novel virus, we have not seen it all and there is no evidence which suggests that with this virus 'herd immunity ' is even possible. Most people apparently lose antibodies within 10 weeks to a few months,but for those who go on to develop 'long covid' and if as I have heard a third of people who get covid have these, there is another serious reason to want to keep most people free of it until we find a way of neuteralising it.

    Long covid is now seemingly of 4 types,

    https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/national/18795240.long-covid-four-different-syndromes---academics/

    There is also the possibility that people who have had covid once may get it again. We know this but there has just recently been a case of someone getting it much worse the second time round. Thist was something someone I was following at the beginning thought was a possibiity because when they made a vaccine for Sars 1, instead of helping people not to get it. it made them worse.

    I heard they were being financed by I suppose it is now the Koch Brother. Bit similar to how so many were fooled re climate disaster.

    Indeed. I think it was from the BBC but unlike yourself I read and listen to a lot of information so do not always remember where I heard it from first time.

    Now how about answering the rest of my post or are you another of these smut posters - that is a poster who never looks at the facts and only looks for somewhere they can degrade a poster believing that makes them the 'winner'.

    Not sure if you are joking or ............

    It would not be a surprise given their financing of anti climate propaganda, something which may very well result in human extinction. That people would immidiately suspect this is perfectly understandable. They have history.

    Now the people who are laughable at any mild look for genuineness are the people who believed this obviously fake 'STATEMENT' - and given there is no way you can get herd immunity possibly those who are unable to read..

    If you have a genuine interest in the topic here is a full response to these people who degrade their profession. Someone must be making it worth their time to do this - those of them who have a genuine profession as stated.

    No one of any integrity has supported this and its fakery was exposed as soon as it tried to present itself.

    Saying you heard something somewhere to validate a statement in here doesnt pass muster and makes you look foolish.

    Doctors from the US, doctors from Belgium, doctors from Germany--it's good to see reputable and conscientious health professionals speaking out against Scamdemic.

    The perpetrators of this scam should be put in the town square every Saturday so that people can throw rotten eggs and vegetables at them. Sunday too...

    Slowly the herd is stopping the stampede.

    Would those doctors be like the "lizard people" doctors you were promoting a few weeks ago?

    I heard that Hillary Clinton and Tom Hanks cut off the faces of young children and eat them and drink their blood to absorb the adrenochrome and stay young, all in the name of Lord Satan. Must be true...

    In what world does quoting QAnon dogma make you sound remotely reasonable?

    The lockdown "cure" is far worse than the COVID disease, and that's a simple fact that a whole lot of people are going to learn the very, very hard way.

    Without lockdown there likely would have already been 2 million deaths.

    What do you think that would have done to the economy?

    No more or less reasonable than trying to pass an “I heard it through the grapevine” statement in this forum as fact. The fact that you are defending such a statement, well...you might as well be defending QAnon at that point.

    Alexa’s statement here from earlier on this page:

    You’ve been speaking for other people all morning here. Are you the elected liberal attack dog while everybody else is working or sleeping in?
