      Here are some of the main pts: 1) protect the older/vulnerable while letting young people get infected 2) No testing of asymptomatic people 3) No contact tracing. 2/x

      BUT how exactly would this work? How do you define, let alone "protect the vulnerable," when a third of the population has underlying risk factors? And how do you physically separate them from the rest of the population? 3/x

      We talked to authors and signatories. Didn't get many details beyond what's in the declaration because, they said, they are not experts in implementation. 4/x

      As one bioethicist noted, people in communities of poverty will be hit hardest by the plan and see the most deaths. so it's unethical--and also doesn't take human behavior into account. 5/x

      I’m curious. Sunetra Gupta is not a physician. Jay Bhattacharya is an MD/PhD but does he ever see patients, let alone COVID19 patients? How is this “let the youngsters get disease” plan any different from the antivaxxer pox & measles parties? How’s this ethical?https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1318312312609083393 …

      Aside from issues already in the report, should the Barrington authors & signatories be held accountable for #publichealth harms—if the plan’s implemented—in a situation where there’s reinfection, 210,000+ from all ages have already died, & long term impacts are being seen?https://twitter.com/kausikdatta22/status/1318517396618027008 …

      Given the #publichealth disaster wrought in Sweden due to its weird #COVID19 policies, why’re we even considering that system as a model? Who benefits if a substantial population of the country—especially the underprivileged—succumbs to a pandemic disease?https://time.com/5899432/sweden-coronovirus-disaster/ …

      Herd immunity’s important to protect the vulnerable, but letting a natural disease with severe consequences—like #COVID19—run amok is certainly not the way to get to it; we need the #vaccines to be available & do their job to protect folks & generate herd immunity. #VaccinesWorkhttps://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1318312821868953600 …

      “Not an expert in implementation” is such a deeply & shamefully unethical, responsibility-shirking, cover-your-own-arse-while-pontificating-from-the-ivory-tower kinda stance from supposed “experts” in #publichealth who are promulgating policy that affects a large number of folks! https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1318313117886054400 …pic.twitter.com/JBjM1AcTRD

          Whoa 😳 I had not made this connection even though I remember the episode. The much-criticized science-by-press-release seroprevalence study from USC had JB as one of the authors! (HT @joshtpm) https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1328162000443232256 …pic.twitter.com/ALq6zILNQk

          Screengrabs of quoted tweets from Josh Marshall of TPM. Nothing else to see here.
