Great Barrington Declaration

Focused protection: To minimize mortality, older and other high-risk individuals are better protected, while the young live near normal lives to minimize collateral damage from lockdowns. Sign the #GreatBarringtonDeclaration gbdeclaration.org

The problem for the scientific community is not that its leaders got the pandemic wrong. To err is human. It's that they abandoned: 1) Evidence-based medicine 2) Basic principles of public health 3) Open scientific discussion 4) Academic freedom

Proud to support @DrJBhattacharya's nomination. I have no doubt he can lead the bipartisan reform the @NIH needs.

Judge allows us to obtain more evidence in our censorship suit against the government. @JoyPullmann @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2024/11/10/jud…

Dear Friends, Since the @washingtonpost story about a possible role for me in the new administration as @nih director, I have been overwhelmed by kind messages and media requests. That decision has not yet been made, as far as I know. No matter what happens, I will do my best in the coming years, in whatever role I have, to help support the reform of the American scientific and public health institutions after the covid era fiasco so that they work for the benefit of the American people. I am grateful to all of you for your kind thoughts and prayers, and I beg forgiveness if I have not had a chance to respond to your message yet. Humbled, Jay

To restore integrity and strength to medical research and science, I hope @Stanford's @DrJBhattacharya will be our next @NIHDirector.

There are people in American academia whose primary purpose is akin to the political commissars who policed Soviet academics against wrongthink. They operate by smearing, insinuation, and ostracization rather than reason, of which they have little.

Four years ago today, with @SunetraGupta and @DrJBhattacharya, we published the @gbdeclaration, advocating focused protection instead of school closures and other lockdowns. Thank you all 940,000 co-signers. We were proven right‼️gbdeclaration.org

"Dr. @dockaurG is a skeptic. She has doubts, questions and reservations about the ruling orthodoxy. But whether these are vices or virtues depends on whether you believe in the spirit of the Enlightenment or the spirit of the Inquisition." - @MickyHiggins nationalpost.com/opinion/ontari…

“I have three children and I need to be able to see them in the eyes” Kulldorff told @JoyPullmann @FDRLST, when asked why he risked his position at Harvard and government research grants for publicly opposing lockdowns and vaccine mandates. thefederalist.com/2023/09/28/doc…

Good article by Prof @DrJBhattacharya and @MartinKulldorff in The Spectator. Happy to report that my teenager read this in print copy. thespectator.com/topic/were-fig…

"Fun" Fact: I don't know a single academic in Africa (from around 15 countries) who doesn't think Covid response was a neocolonial catstrophe. With around 5 noble exceptions, I don't know any academic researching Africa in the West who has made any public comment on this at all.

By avoiding lockdowns, Sweden had the lowest excess mortality in Europe.

Bittersweet to see children's charities finally find their voice. The harm was predictable and predicted and might have been stopped had it not been left for a vanishingly small number of us - @UsforThemUK and a few brave professionals and journalists - to stand against the lockdown juggernaut in spring 2020. If any of these organisations feel like putting their newfound courage to the test, the unexplained excess death spike in younger cohorts and their parents would be a great place to start. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/2…

Indeed, thank you all !

"The mask debate .. as well as debates over school closures, lockdowns, and vaccines, is settled in the minds of too many people on .. whether they view the given partisans of a position as good people, and not on the evidence provided." - @Leigh_Phillips jacobin.com/2023/03/covid-…

@GadSaad @snorman1776 @DrJBhattacharya I despised GBD in 2020/21 while in trenches with people proned and vented for weeks with Covid. Many died. Then one night I interacted with @DrJBhattacharya and expressed my disagreement. Since then, I’ve re-evaluated my stance on Covid policies and realized that we were all 🐑.

Why is @anya1anya falsely claiming that "right-wing dark money" was behind our efforts to open schools? Is her goal to promote the right or to cleanse dark money??? It was actually just basic public health thinking and trying to protect children. @anya1anya/we-worked-so-hard-and-didnt-make-a-difference-you-know-we-should-have-stayed-in-school-83f961da62e1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@anya1anya/we-…

Covid's first casualties were evidence-based medicine & evidence-based public health
