    Not debunked at all. You're simply lying.

    EDITORIAL: The Great Barrington Declaration is a worthwhile document

    Just a few days ago, three top notch epidemiologists from Harvard, Oxford and Stanford produced a declaration calling for an end to widespread COVID-19 lockdowns.

    Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Dr. Sunetra Gupta, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya were the first to put their names to the important document they drafted labelled the Great Barrington Declaration.

    They were joined by 35 co-signers, highly credentialed medical experts from around the world – including Canada’s Dr. Matthew Stauss, a critical care physician and assistant professor of medicine at Queen’s University.

    Then, after the declaration went public several several days ago, tens of thousands of people, a few thousand apparently doctors, co-signed the document. The tallies continue to grow.

    Every day it seems more and more medical experts are stepping forward to say no to strict lockdowns and call for smarter, more data-driven approaches that protect the vulnerable but set low-risk categories of people free.

    We fully support this approach. We support the wearing of masks. We support physical distancing. We support building a resilient health-care system. But we can no longer support restrictions that destroy our small businesses, shut down our communities and create untold personal trauma, the effects of which will be seen for years to come.

    It’s time to get smarter.

    The Great Barrington Declaration argues that: “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. We call this Focused Protection.”

    Their concern is that “(k)eeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

    “Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.”

    Similar things have been said by medical experts speaking out in the pages of the Sun and other Postmedia publications.

    Let’s hope public health officials and politicians are paying attention.

    You signed the Great Barrington Declaration as Dr. Jack Theripper (aka Jack the Ripper).

    Showing this petition is utter nonsense.

    Let's go to the thread to remind you of this again...

  5. The highest and best use of the tabloid newspaper, The Toronto Sun, is as fish wrap. Any other purpose is misguided. And then an editorial piece on top of that? Cheeky.

    Thank you for "reminding" me. I see you still haven't answered why we shouldn't listen to the scientists and doctors that were responsible for the project (the dozens listed on the main page) other than "because they are on the right of the political spectrum".

    As for the Toronto Sun being a rag (I don't know whether it is or isn't), I'd point out the same thing whenever anyone discredits the source - argue the points presented in the article. If you can't, discredit the source.

    There's Koch money behind it along with a libertarian think tank that pushes climate change denialism

    Once again.... Any dimwit can go sign the Great Barrington Declaration resolution. Many of the signatories don't even exist or were signed up by someone else & are fake. of course it is sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research, a conservative think tank.

    The Great Barrington Declaration has already been exposed in the U.K. press as nonsense and has been rejected by the government as idiotic.

    The American Institute for Economic Research found 30 doctors and scientists to be their sponsors for the Great Barrington Declaration who are listed on the first page. All 30 of these doctors & scientists have previously been all over conservative media pushing their non-lockdown claims. They are primarily political activists which is why they were selected to join as sponsors.

    So in summary -- out of the 10s of millions of scientists and doctors on the face of the earth the Great Barrington Declaration found a mere 30 to sign on to be sponsors with their quackery opinions.
