"Where we end up is at that threshold, which is an equilibrium state where infections neither growth nor decline, except in some sort of seasonal way, which is just a sort of bobbing up and down around equilibrium." — Sunetra Gupta (Prof. Epidemiology, Oxford)

"So first of all, the data that have been misinterpreted and rather strangely by people who should be and are experts in the field, is that some of the variants, one of the one in Britain, for example, seems to be taking over from what was there before.

But as I explained, for something to take over, it doesn’t have to have hugely higher transmissibility. It’s just, you know, it’s a tug of war and, you know, you can attach a mouse to one end of the tug of war and pull the whole thing across to one side.

And that is more likely to be what happened then a large elephant having been attached to the other side. So there is no indicator… just because something is growing and taking over does not mean that it is hugely more transmissible and it’s sort of, it’s the inverse.

Cases rose because of seasonality without any doubt. And within that rising cases, so there’s sudden expansion, the strain that was slightly more transmissible is very likely to expand more and take over very quickly. It doesn’t serve, it..."

Pubic health in 2021!!!

✨Jay Bhattachary (Prof. Medicine, Stanford) #immunity

"There’s a vast array of evidence in the scientific literature that shows definitively that if you’ve had COVID and recovered, the vast, vast majority of people have a durable immunity that it’s very unlikely that you’ll be reinfected and you’ll be protected from, from reinfection. Even if you do get reinfected at some later time, it’s very likely to be less severe than the first time. So, yeah, it’s just like the other coronaviruses; if you get infected, you get immunity and it lasts a while. Not forever, but it lasts a while."

Paper "COVID-19 Lockdown Policies: An Interdisciplinary Review"

*Psychological research supports the proposition that lengthy lockdowns may exacerbate stressors such as social isolation and unemployment that have been shown to be strong predictors of falling ill if exposed to a respiratory virus. Studies at the economic level of analysis points to the possibility that deaths associated with economic harms or underfunding of other health issues may outweigh the deaths that lockdowns save, and that the extremely high financial cost of lockdowns may have negative implications for overall population health in terms of diminished resources for treating other conditions. Research on ethics in relation to lockdowns points to the inevitability of value judgements in balancing different kinds of harms and benefits than lockdowns cause. *

Public health 2020 ;-)

Merkel: “We basically have a new pandemic. Essentially we have a new virus, obviously of the same type but with completely different characteristics. Significantly more deadly, significantly more infectious, and infectious for longer.”

Reminder, “The Lockdowns Are Creating a New Virus. Then We Have a New Epidemic.” — Epidemiologist Dr Wittkowski https://dryburgh.com/knut-wittkowski-lockdowns-are-creating-a-new-virus/

Added update to Knut https://dryburgh.com/knut-wittkowski-lockdowns-are-creating-a-new-virus/

My fear is that not only were lockdowns the worst public health decision in 100 years, but the course we are on, is rapidly growing to be a great danger to the public.

The "course" being lockdowns slowing spread amongst everyone (not just the vulnerable) mixed with leaky vaccination programs.

It's getting to the point that it's not lockdowns people will need to protest, but being injured (or their family) by what public health policies are breeding.

Seems that all-cause mortality, 2020 was a bad year in the USA, as bad as 2005 in fact and nearly as bad as 2003.

From CBS News. This 30 second clip is a fair representation of the past 12 months of pandemic handling.

"In a moral panic, something is seen as unthinkable.. Under this quasi-compassion for people who might catch Covid.. we throw under the bus everybody being harmed. In people's minds it's all about saving lives, but only Covid lives" - Patrick Phillip MD

And now a word from our sponsor, Dr Anthony Fauci, sharing his views on Texans wanting to live their lives.

"People seem to have forgotten that non-pharmaceutical interventions were intended to flatten the curve - not to change the area under the curve i.e. to spread out cases/hospitalisations/deaths - not to reduce them." - Zoe Harcombe PhD
