34,000 Scientists & Doctors Sign Declaration Strongly Opposing COVID Lockdowns
By

In Brief
- The Facts:
More than 16000 scientists and doctors as well as more than 446,000 people have signed the Great Barrington Declaration, opposing a second COVID-19 lockdown because, according to them, it's doing much more harm than good.
- Reflect On:
Why are opinions and narratives that oppose the WHO being censored, ridiculed, and largely ignored? Why aren't they discussed openly and transparently?
What Happened: A few days ago we published an article about “The Great Barrington Declaration.” At the time of publication, the declaration had approximately 16,000 signatures from doctors & scientists from around the world opposing lockdown measures as a way to combat COVID-19. The declaration also had approximately 150,000 signatures from concerned citizens. Now, just 5 days later after publishing that article, the declaration has 447,829 signatures from concerned citizens, 9,540 signatures from medical & public health scientists & 25,146 signatures from medical practitioners.
According to the declaration:

“Covid-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza. As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity…
Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.”
You can read their entire statement here and see a list of some of the signees, as well as sign it yourself. In the picture above, you will see from left to left see a few of the initiators behind the declaration:
Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations.
Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.
In my previous article when the declaration had only 16,000 signatures, I explain why this is important and provide as brief takeaway. I also provide multiple examples of the world’s top scientists in the field who are share the same perspective as The Barrington Declaration based on science and data. You can read that article here if interested.
You can watch a video with some of the scientists below sharing why they feel the way they feel.
The Takeaway: It’s been quite intriguing to see so many scientists and doctors completely oppose the recommendations and claims made by the World Health Organization (WHO) since the beginning of this pandemic. What’s even more shocking for lots of people is the fact that many scientists and doctors have been completely censored for sharing their research and opinion regarding anything to do with COVID if it opposes the information and recommendations set out by the WHO. Social media outlets have been complicit in this activity and have also been heavily criticized for it. Michael Levitt, a Biophysicist and a professor of structural biology at Stanford University, is one of many who criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as Facebook for censoring different information and informed perspectives regarding the Coronavirus. According to him, “the level of stupidity going on here is amazing.”
All of this has contributed to COVID being a catalyst for people to start questioning what’s really happening in our world, and why is there so much conflicting information from such credible sources?
