How many? A small fraction of the amount we would have seen if nothing was done.

Use your brain, dude. Do you actually think the world would just go back to normal if nothing was done?

Fauci Orchestrated 'Quick and Devastating' Takedown of Anti-Lockdown Experts






Quote:
New emails released by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request revealed that last year, outgoing National Institutes of Health Dir. Dr. Francis Collins instructed Dr. Anthony Fauci to carry out a “quick and devastating” takedown of The Great Barrington Declaration, a document authored by experts who advocated for herd immunity to stop the pandemic, and “focused protection” for the most vulnerable populations over universal lockdowns.



According to the declaration, “Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health” that will lead to “greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice. ”


“As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls,” the declaration continues. “We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity … Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.”


In an email to Fauci dated Oct. 8, 2020, Collins vilified the Great Barrington Declaration as the work of “three fringe epidemiologists” that “seems to be getting a lot of attention.”


“There needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown of its premises,” Collins told Fauci. “I don’t see anything like that online yet – is it underway?”

And why do you think that's some sort of smoking gun? Great Barrington has zero merit and couldn't be more flawed. Why wouldn't Fauci be instructed to point that out?

Sure, Jan.



Harvard, Stanford and Oxford epidemiologists shouldn't be listened to.


Unless they agree with Big Pharma.


Then all of a sudden they're valid.


Actual scientists don't shut down inquiry and intellectual analysis by people with (at least) just as legitimate credentials as they.



The Left screams "Follow the Science", but don't even understand what science is. As with everything else, you prefer to believe one version of reality, no matter how much evidence beckons to the truly objective to reconsider. (Or at the very least mildly examine!)



The Emails prove Fauci had an agenda from the start about how to manage this, and wasn't interested in a genuine search for the truth.



No therapeutics despite their proven success, just vaccine after vaccine while Big Pharma rakes it in.


Cha-ching.


And that barely scratches the surface.

3,000 people in RI are dead from covid.

With Great Barrington, you could easily multiply that by 10. And nothing would be open. There would be dead bodies in the streets.

And yet we're one of the most vaccinated states in the country.


Go figure.


Maybe we should have followed the advice of the Great Barrington project.


If only your TV had preached people into that approach instead, we wouldn't be dealing with this authoritarian delusion of yours.


But profits win over science.



Good day Sir.

No, the emails prove that Fauci was negligent for not having already called out Great Barrington.
