Since I stated the the source sucks ass (it does), I’m sure someone’s going to call me out for that without giving a reason. I’ll just note that Harvard Epidemiologist mentioned is actually none other than Martin Kulldorff, co-author of “The Great Barrington Declaration”, along with Jay “Dr. Fauci is the #1 anti-vaxxer in the country” Bhattacharya and SayTwo’s favorite person, Sunetra “the IFR is pretty close to 0.01%” Gupta.
The Great Barrington Declaration is that manifesto that basically said we should jab all of the old fuckers and let everyone who wants to live life as normal to do so. Some would die, but the rest would get us to herd immunity. If you are completely uncaring and shitty at risk calculation, it’s right down your alley.
The head of the NIH called it:
…a fringe component of epidemiology. This is not mainstream science. It’s dangerous. It fits into the political views of certain parts of our confused political establishment. I’m sure it will be an idea that someone can wrap themselves in as a justification for skipping wearing masks or social distancing and just doing whatever they damn well please.
Ouchy Fauci himself chimed in:
So this idea that we have the power to protect the vulnerable is total nonsense because history has shown that that’s not the case. And, and if you talk to anybody who has any experience in epidemiology and infectious diseases, they will tell you that that is risky, and you’ll wind up with many more infections of vulnerable people, which will lead to hospitalizations and deaths. So I think that we just got to look that square in the eye and say it’s nonsense.
You know who loved the Declaration? Scott Atlas and the Cheeto in Chief.
While I’ve already debunked the shit out of Gupta in past threads, I’ll just note that to arrive at a 0.01% infection fatality rate, the current almost 5 million dead (and let’s be fair, this is likely a drastic undercount) would require a global population of 50 billion people, 100% of who have been infected. Nice math, lady!
Did I mention that the source sucks ass?
