“Repeated pandemic health scare—culture of fear. No reason for expecting any upcoming pandemic to be worse than mild ones of 1957 or 1968 (1-4M deaths each). Pandemic policy never informed by evidence—but by fear of worst-case scenarios”

3/ “In 2011, the WHO.. issued a powerful warning.. It was a strong attack against the 'culture of fear' that could be fomented in the future just as it was in 2006 & 2009.. What was true in 2011 is true today. More so than ever.. identical to ethos of GBD”

In both pandemics of fear, the exaggerated claims of a severe public health threat stemmed primarily from disease advocacy by influenza experts. In the highly competitive market of health governance, the struggle for attention, budgets and grants is fierce. 1/2

Sadly it's worldwide. The government's panic, and focus only on the new cases or current case count, without looking at the bigger picture.

Also, the mental and physical repercussions will be overwhelming felt for many years to come and will have a more devastating impact than the pandemic itself.

It must be the only pandemic in history where the headline figure is cases and not deaths.

Comparative to the population today a pandemic the scale of the Spanish Flu would have seen 2 Billion people become infected with 200 million deaths
The Coronavirus was a mere .5% of that
But lockdown is 100% Spanish Flu
Lockdown is political, not medical
