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. This is Focused Protection.


Dr. Fauci, paging Dr. Fauci.

Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as handwashing 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.

Since the declaration was published, more than 2,000 public-health scientists and more than 2,000 medical practitioners have signed it, as have nearly 40,000 members of the general public. You can add your signature to the declaration online at https://gbdeclaration.org.

The people that died from alcoholism, drug overdoses, elderly loneliness, and suicide can’t read this story.

Donald Trump, whose infection with COVID-19 was confirmed last week, removed his face mask on Monday night upon his arrival to the White House!:

Across the nation drug overdosing has greatly increased. Just one among many is N.J.:

Overdose deaths in NJ may hit record high Lilo H. Stainton, Health care writer | September 15, 2020 | Health Care Through July, deaths are up 17% as stress from lockdown, COVID added to pressures addicts faced

Research has shown that economic declines, rising unemployment and social upheaval correspond with rising rates of drug use. Early in the pandemic, addiction treatment providers in New Jersey witnessed a surge in demand because of increased need and pandemic-related restrictions that had forced some facilities to scale back programs.

Economically, estimates project total losses in state and local revenue of up to 45 percent, effecting 90,000 nonfederal-government entities that provide and pay for most of the government services that Americans receive.[94] And while states look to the Federal government to bail them out, the additional costs and declining revenues stemming from Covid-19 are expected to produce a 2020 budget deficit in excess of $4.2 trillion.[95]

And most of government income comes from taxes, via businesses and those who are employed ( income taxes, payroll taxes, and corporate taxes),[96],yet businesses are failing across America, and in New York alone the governor stated that small businesses constitute “90 percent of New York's businesses” and “more than 100,000 have shut permanently since the pandemic hit.”[97]

Moreover (as of May 20), with 2.43 million in America filing for an unemployment,[98] the rate is at least 20%.[99] Also, according to one meta-analysis of 42 studies involving 20 million people, the risk of death increases 63 percent when one loses their job, and that for every one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate, there are 37,000 deaths, mainly from heart attacks, but another 1,000 from suicides and another 650 from homicides.[100] All of which can mean that the lockdown measures can end up being responsible for more deaths than the Coronavirus itself, which is what a German official warns of across the globe.[101]

On Aug. 2[102] , it was reported that thirty-six of of the top 50 cities in America had a collective 24% jump in homicides this year compared to 2019, with a total of 3,612 murders in 2020 being reported so far.

And as concerns just suicide, we have reports such as “Calls to suicide and help hotline in Los Angeles increase 8,000% due to coronavirus,”[103] and “Doctors at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek say they have seen more deaths by suicide during this quarantine period than deaths from the COVID-19 virus,”[104] In addition to which are greatly increased drug overdoses and deaths during COVID.[105] [106]As well as well as significant rise in divorces. [107]

Yet while we seek to save lives, 7,000 Americans die every day in the US from a wide range of causes [108] - besides over 2,000 a day being slain in the “quarantine” of their mother’s womb[109] - my prayer is that all sinners will come to repentance and faith in the risen Lord Jesus and be baptized and follow Him.

Sources and more, by the grace of God. Sources and more, by the grace of God.

“Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage ...”

As if the lockdowns will be lifted once there’s a vaccine. This hoax has nothing to do with public health. It’s a political weapon and a means of social engineering. This insanity is intended to be PERMANENT.

I was saying this in March.

Where do I sign?

Sanity ensues... And it’s hard to come by. This is the first virus or plague in history where the healthy were locked up with the sick... Quarantining sick people is the only sensible method for dealing with a pandemic, not quarantining everyone.

Reality check.

COVID-19 is airborne.

That means, “in the air, everywhere”.

It is ENDEMIC.

We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.

This is NOT the Bubonic plague.
This is NOT the Spanish Influenza.

Tear off that face diaper.
Breathe deeply. Inhale some COVID.
Build up your immune system.
And LIVE!
