    Great Barrington Declaration: we need herd immunity now! Also GBD: but not like that 🙃🙃🙃https://twitter.com/malar0ne/status/1353934042236784640 …

    Health Nerd added,

    Mallory Harris @malar0ne
    After spending last year encouraging governments to intentionally infect us for the sake of herd immunity, Scott Atlas & the three GBD authors are advising an organization that's telling people COVID19 infection is safer than the vaccine. https://www.pandata.org/you-asked-we-answered/ … pic.twitter.com/h5Ww5RlGwz

        COVID-19 denialism has seamlessly blended with anti-vaccine denialism, to no one's surprise

        Among all the scandals, I thought this was the least understood but the worst. I believe that, driven by a wish to reopen his properties as early as possible, Trump perpetuated mass murder on his own people through Dr Atlas. I KNOW how that sounds but when the uplift fits...

        It's a bit harsh, but it does not sound wrong. Yes, their program seems to be: "Let's get back to nomal - yes, people will get infected and that's what will make them finally immune and end the pandemic. And those who die, just die - who cares?"

        Re: "Great Barrington Declaration: we need herd immunity now!" So they're advising an organization that says SARS-CoV-2 infection is safer than the vaccine... as they say ZeroCovid folks are on par with anti-vaxxers? 😑 https://twitter.com/MartinKulldorff/status/1353699699887403008 … https://twitter.com/malar0ne/status/1353934042236784640 …pic.twitter.com/W4PmZkIPmr

        Martin saw Sweden arriving to herd immunity in May 2020. That didn't age well.https://twitter.com/MartinKulldorff/status/1264920272303464453?s=20 …

        It boggles the mind how anyone could argue that it’s safer for “elderly nursing home patients” to get COVID-19 than to get the vaccine. It’s really, really, really fucked up that anyone would advocate for that position.

        Knew they were bonkers, but hadn’t realized how incredibly dangerous this stuff is. It’s breathtaking.

        Wow, In the 2 trials 35,000 people received the vaccine with zero deaths. You give 35K people covid I would expect ~350 deaths. I believe 350>0, so I think at least the risk of death is just a teeny little bit higher.
