We cannot stop the spread of COVID, but we CAN end the pandemic: Protect the old and vulnerable, forget lockdowns - and learn to live with the virus, writes Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford University School of Medicine professor

The arrival of the omicron variant has led some politicians and public health grandees to call for a return to business closures and 'circuit-breaker' lockdowns.

...

My message is this: we can’t stop the spread of COVID, but we can end the pandemic.

In October 2020, I wrote the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD) along with Prof. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University and Prof. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University.

The centerpiece of the declaration is a call for increased focused protection of the vulnerable older population, who are more than a thousand times more likely to die from COVID infection than the young.

...

The Great Barrington Declaration (GBD) calls for a return to normal life for low-risk children and non-elderly adults.

...

During Florida’s summer wave, Gov. Ron DeSantis promoted the use of monoclonal antibodies – an FDA-approved treatment – by patients early in the course of the disease, an action that saved many lives.

Safe and inexpensive supplements like Vitamin D have been shown effective. Promising new treatments from Pfizer and a new antibody treatment for the immunocompromised by Astra Zeneca promise to become more widely available. Until that happens, they should be preserved for use by the most vulnerable when sick.

I ask you, just imagine...

Just imagine if COVID had leaked out of a U.S. defense department lab, during the Trump administration. Just imagine what would have been the international reaction, and the reaction from the Democrat party.

It wouldn't be called COVID, it would be called the Trump Murder Virus.

Sounds good to me. The Karens will just have to look elsewhere for added meaning to their lives.

When, will this good Doctor get fired from Stanford for daring to discuss our problem in a simple manner.

His peers will destroy him.

They want to close down Stanford classes and go back to video classes.

Students will begin winter quarter with two weeks of online instruction before transitioning to in-person classes on Jan. 18, the University announced in an email Thursday morning. Though students will still be allowed to return to campus as scheduled anytime on or after Jan. 1, the University will require non-exempt, eligible students to show documentation of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine booster by Jan. 31.

Dr. Battacharya has been saying this since the middle of 2020. He isn’t even alone on this, a huge number of Physicians, Professors and Scientists made the same statement formalized in THE GREAT BARRINGTON DECLARATION.

See here:

https://gbdeclaration.org/

The problem is.... They’re being ignored by the powers that be.
