As of Nov. 20, at least 35,236 medical practitioners and 12,115 medical and public health scientists have joined more than 638,920 members of the general public in signing the petition, which was created on Oct. 4 and co-authored by Harvard professor of medicine Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Oxford professor Dr. Sunetra Gupta, and Stanford Medical School professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
“As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists, we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection,” reads the petition, which is titled the Great Barrington Declaration, after the Massachusetts town where it was first signed.
The petition calls for an end to current lockdown policies, saying that they are producing “devastating effects” on short- and long-term public health.
“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,” the declaration states.
“Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal.”

Journalism is so dead.
Ah, but their ‘experts’ are telling the truth. Didn’t you get the memo? Anyone who disagrees with their ‘experts’ doesn’t know what they are talking about. In my working life I was a scientist. My Socialist sister recently told me that she believes the ‘scientists’. In my face, when I was a scientist. Obviously, the scientists I believe don’t tell the truth..

You know it is interesting that people talk about FEMA camps the last few years. Why would they need these camps when they can dictate everyone stay home and like Whitmer demand that no one grow their own food. Is this just a new form of Martial Law being experimented with? Interesting their are curfews like the virus will not infect anyone between certain hours of the day. COVID Curfews should be illegal as there is no reason for them. Well them and a myriad of other restrictions imposed on the citizens of this country.
About time. Good for them.
