Authoritarian
state governors
are using COVID-19
as an excuse to oppress
their populations, and
increase their power.
They put their states
under "house arrest",
which sends the state
economy into a tailspin,
and sometimes they
set the police on us,
in case we sit
too close to
each other on
park benches ...
all while assuring us
it's all for our own good.
The science !
The science !
We’re supposedly
led being led by
"the science".
But “the scientists”
are not all
in agreement
on “the science”.
Many "government"
scientists have been
providing inaccurate
predictions, using
flawed, incomplete data.
Non-consensus,
non-government
views, by the
following
qualified people,
are mainly ignored:
Dr Sucharit Bhakdi,
former professor at the
Johannes Gutenberg University
in Mainz and head of the
Institute for Medical
Microbiology and Hygiene
Dr John Ioannidis,
Professor of Medicine,
of Health Research
and Policy and of
Biomedical Data Science,
'at Stanford University
School of Medicine
Professor Knut Wittkowski,
Senior Research Associate,
Rockefeller University
Dr Alexander Kekulé,
Chair for
Medical Microbiology
and Virology at
Martin Luther University
Halle-Wittenberg
and Director of the
Institute for Medical
Microbiology at the
University Hospital Halle
John Oxford,
Virologist at Queen Mary,
University of London
Dr Sunetra Gupta,
Professor of
Theoretical Epidemiology
at the University of Oxford
Dr Pablo Goldschmidt,
Professor of Molecular
Pharmacology
at the Université Pierre
et Marie Curie in Paris.
Why are their views
ignored by the
mainstream media?
Because they do not
fit the narrative set
set by the federal
government.
Imagine crashing
a state economy,
by imposing
what resembles
a police state,
to deal with
a case-fatality rate
that may not be
significantly greater
than a bad flu season.
Is that rational?
Lockdowns
should lower
the peak of the
hospitalization
"curve", to
reduce hospital
overcrowding.
But other nations,
doing different things,
seem to have
similarly shaped
hospitalization
curves.
There is no real
scientific evidence
that placing
a state under
a partial
lockdown,
will be
more effective
than different
measures
used in
South Korea
and Sweden.
Are the lockdowns
preventing people
from getting sick,
or just delaying
their infections
until after they
stop social
distancing ?
That's unknown.
Some "side effects"
of the lockdowns
are obvious, but
others are not
discussed:
-- Massive job losses,
or cuts in hours worked.
-- A rise in temporary
(hopefully) poverty
-- A decline in general health
from stress ... and people
with other health problems
avoiding doctor's offices
and hospitals
-- A rise in mental health problems
-- A rise in the suicide rate
-- People dying alone.
There is not
enough real
science / data
about COVID-19
yet, to be
“led by
“led by
the science”.
