      A disturbing aspect of this editorial by 2 GBD authors is that in the opening paragraph they state that vaccinating everyone "is more dangerous for public health" than vaccinating noone It's sad to see the GBD take this turn; they could have chosen to support global vaccinationhttps://twitter.com/NDLoubere/status/1420374758135369728 …

      #GBDPandemicParadox no 29: Covid is not dangerous for children and young people. There is no reason to think there will be long-term adverse reactions from infection. 🙂 We should not vaccinate the young because we don't know if there will be adverse reactions in the future. 🙃 pic.twitter.com/lMHOgikTbW

      I thought that was how they were going to achieve focused protection?! Can they just make their bloody minds up? Hard to know which farcical policy to criticise! 🤬

      Replying to @SGriffin_Lab

      Unless I have misunderstood their policy, there is a massive contradiction at the heart of the GBD. They strongly oppose masks, shelter in place, test & trace, workplace & school protections, and mass vaccination. So, how, exactly would they protect the vulnerable? With what?

          When I was on BBC with Sunetra last yr, she was v dismissive of both acute and long COVID...whilst still arguing for focused protection... Well, folks are having to shield again now, infection passing through the population...I guess she must be happy...

          The idea of focussed protection is absurd. Even more so with Delta, it cannot and does not work. GBD is utter trash.

          Don’t kid yourself they want to protect the vulnerable. They want the vulnerable to be “protected” by being totally excluded from society.

          It would mean exclusion of >40% of people: all those with a preexisting condition plus “you’d have to isolate all people of color, all people who are disabled, and all people who are elderly.” GBD’s vision is unethical, dystopian &, I’d argue, racist.https://time.com/5900024/covid-19-herd-immunity-dangerous/ …
