Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, just defied the liberal media to speak out and say that people are “mistaken” if they actually think coronavirus lockdown policies are keeping people safe from COVID-19.
Bhattacharya, who recently led the largest COVID-19 antibody study in the U.S., carried out tests on staff members of 27 Major League Baseball teams to figure out how much coronavirus has already spread. Based on the results of this and prior research of his, Bhattacharya has concluded that lockdowns are not a good thing and may even be causing further harm.
“I think in the back of people’s heads there is this idea that somehow we can eradicate this disease if we just stay locked down... the epidemic is too widespread to eradicate.”
He added that he believes the lockdowns may have not moved the population toward elimination of the virus, but instead just delayed the spread. The doctor thinks that as a result, when lockdowns are finally lifted, COVID-19 will spread again.
“There is no safe option,” Bhattacharya said. “If you think that having a lockdown will provide you safety, you are mistaken. Because the problem is this lockdown has had enormous negative effects on the health of people in the United States and around the world.”
...
The mainstream media will not like what Bhattacharya had to say, as they seem to want lockdowns to go on as long as possible in the hopes that it will ruin Donald Trump’s chances of being reelected. This just goes to show that we need to end these ridiculous lockdowns immediately, and focus on getting our country back on track.

Nice to have some medical backup but not really necessary.
So about the best thing you can do is lose weight, get your BMI below 20, increase aerobic exercise, and get out in the sunshine a lot. And maybe take Vit C, Vit D, Zinc, NAC, and Quercitin supplements.
But, THE SCIENCE!, THE SCIENCE!, THE SCIENCE!

Remember, this lockdown B$ has never been about improving your health nor our families’ health.
It is/has been about taking away our rights and controlling us, with us paying for this B$ with our tax dollars to control us. Finally to defeat President Trump this November.
Isn’t that they guy who says he invented email?
Nope, it’s a different guy.
The email guy was at MIT.
I watched a long interview with him, he’ very smart, very articulate, and very right.
Aren’t you the guy who says the whole world should wear a mask?
I’ve used the term “everyone” but not the “whole world”.
If the virus isn’t circulating in your area, you don’t need to wear a mask.
If you’re not around others you don’t need to wear a mask.
If you have a medical condition that prevents wearing a mask or are 2 and under you don’t need to wear a mask.
Great article. Thanks for posting it.
BMI does not differentiate between muscle and fat. A person who is very healthy could have a BMI that is considered “obese.”
FWIW-
Glad to see you have modicum of common sense.
For most people the BMI height, waist and weight methods are pretty accurate because most people don’t have muscle mass! But you are correct, a really fit muscular build will not calculate fairly.
Specific gravity is the best way to measure BMI. Even that way, bone density is still a variable.
“We are only drawing out the infection rate so that hospitals don’t get overwhelmed. Eventually the same number of people will get infected and the same number will die.” - Dr. Fauci paraphrased
A BMI below 20 is not healthy and leaves little reserve. An optimal BMI is between 20 and 25
If you are not a sheep that understands masks do not prevent the spread of this disease you don’t need to wear a mask
Thank you, Doctor!
