"Since COVID-19 operates in a highly age specific manner, mandated counter measures must also be age specific. If not, lives will be unnecessarily lost."
What Fauci got wrong: natural immunity, not protecting the elderly, school closures, masks, useless and wasteful contact tracing, collateral public health damage, ...
I do not understand why anyone is okay with LinkedIn/Microsoft, Facebook, YouTube/Google and Twitter having censored factually correct covid information.
After trying to monopolize the megaphone for almost three years, the Covid Faucists will soon find themselves lonely and frustrated in a small, ridiculed minority.
The denial of natural immunity after Covid disease is the worst unscientific folly in the past 75 years. How will universities and hospitals recover public trust after that?
Trust in medicine is broken. The culprits? A vocal minority of MDs who got the pandemic wrong: promoting school closures and other lockdowns, not protecting high-risk elderly, denying natural immunity, pushing mask and vaccine mandates, and censoring/slandering oponents.
Vaccine mandates illegal in New Zealand. They are "now calling for the suspended workers to return to their jobs immediately, saying many have given decades of service to their community."
For thousands of years, disease pathogens have spread from person to person. Never before have carriers been blamed for infecting the next sick person. That is a very dangerous ideology.
From the

information, some Twitter dude labelled it misleading and suppressed it by prevented comments and likes.
21. Internal emails show an “intent to action” by a moderator, saying Kulldorff’s tweet violated the company’s Covid-19 misinformation policy and claimed he shared “false information.”
Based on close interaction with a variety of people, from illiterate Guatemalan peasants to Harvard professors, my anecdotal conclusion is that there is not much correlation between education and intelligence.
Astonishing that some public health officials still impose mask mandates. The only two randomized trials on covid masks, in Denmark and Bangladesh, showed zero to minimal efficacy. We need to return to evidence-based public health.
What competent epidemiologists knew in March 2020 should now be obvious to all. Covid cannot be suppressed. Lockdowns just postpone infections and prolong the pandemic while causing collateral damage on public health and education.
If we had done focused protection, as outlined in the Great Barrington Declaration, the pandemic would have been over now with fewer Covid deaths and less collateral public health damage.
First the Canadian government threw science and the basic principles of public health out the window.
Now they are throwing democracy and the basic principles of human rights out the window.
In ~500 BC, we learned that the earth is not flat, but a sphere.
In 430 BC, during the Athenian plague, we understood natural immunity.
Now universities only believe in one of the two.
Infection-aquired immunity is stronger than vaccine-aquired immunity. University presidents with vaccine mandates deserve the same respect as flat-earthers.
As a Harvard professor I analyzed vaccine data for two decades and helped develop CDC's vaccine safety system. It's illuminating to realize that

After pushing covid lockdowns,
@BillGates
admits that he and his foundation experts "didn't understand that it's a fairly low fatality rate and that it's a disease mainly of the elderly"; basic facts known in early 2020. He should stay away from public health.
Absolute and total ass covering bullshit from Bill Gates. We KNEW the IFR from COVID was low, and we KNEW it targeted the elderly in early Spring 2020. We cannot let these people pretend like this is new. They broke the world, and must be held accountable.
Twitter censored scientists who were right about the pandemic while promoting scientists who were wrong about the pandemic.

Infectious disease epidemiology can be counter intuitive. If you trusted the media "experts" but now realize the devastating impact of ineffective Covid restrictions, we welcome you with open arms. Let's make sure this ends and never happens again.
A luxury of the laptop class, lockdowns were an assault on the working class. Why did Sweden act differently? Maybe because it is one of few countries that was led by an actual worker, with a very intelligent welder as prime minister.
By mandating covid recovered staff to be vaccinated, universities and hospitals denied natural immunity from infection. That is stunning. Time for basic scientific knowledge to return to universities, medical schools and hospitals.
In Israel, vaccinated individuals had 27 times higher risk of symptomatic COVID infection compared to those with natural immunity from prior COVID disease [95%CI:13-57, adjusted for time of vaccine/disease]. No COVID deaths in either group.

Scientists speaking up against the official pandemic narrative are not doing it for personal or financial gains. Such accusations are nuts; as that would be nuts. We do it for public health.
In 2020, I was a lonely voice in the Twitter wilderness, opposing lockdowns with a few scattered friends.
In 2022, I am preaching to the choir; a choir with a wonderful, beautiful voice. Thank you for singing!
The idea that Covid is spreading because we didn't lockdown, mandate, contact trace or mitigate enough is farcical. Never before have people complied with more public health edicts. In good faith, people did its part. It was the ineffective and damaging policies that failed.
It's problematic when the same person (Fauci) directs both pandemic policy and the largest funder of infectious disease research (NIAID). Scientists must be able to oppose public health policies without fear of losing research funds.
Twelve Forgotten Principles of Public Health
#1
Public health is about all health outcomes, not just a single disease like
#COVID19
. It is important to also consider harms from public health measures.
#totalharms
@collateralglbl
The vocal pro-lockdown "public health scientists", with their limited knowledge of infectious disease epidemiology, will be the last to recognize the public health disaster they created.
AIDS pandemic: blame the sick, stigmatize gays, fearmongering, ignore the poor, slow with treatments, NIAIDs Fauci
COVID pandemic: blame the sick, stigmatize unvaccinated, fearmongering, lockdowns harm the poor, slow with treatments, NIAIDs Fauci
When will we ever learn?
A scientific community that engages in and tolerates slander, bullying, silencing and ad hominem attacks, is a scientific community that destroys itself and its reputation.
Ottawa police are now going after local business owners who served the truck drivers, like this coffee shop that served coffee to them, thanks to tips by local residents. They are forcing them to close.
To appoint a
@CDCDirector
who questions natural immunity after infection, that's like appointing a
@NASA
director who questions if the earth is round a flat. Let's return to the basics.
As a vaccine epidemiologist I have focused on scientific evidence, letting the chips fall where they may. In the current fight between vaccine fanatics and anti-vaxxers, the walls have now closed in from both sides. I can no longer support my family doing vaccine safety research.
When making unscientific claims, media often refer to "health officials" or "experts" without citing anyone. I challenge
@Twitter
to name vaccine experts believing that everyone, including children and those with prior immunity from natural infection, MUST be Covid vaccinated.
Lockdowns harmed children, the poor and the middle class. This tweet was censored by

BOLOGNA, ITALY: The conscience of a country's population standing against their politicians speaks through this woman who says her life has been destroyed by lockdowns & has nothing to eat or to feed her 3 year old child:
"The comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right." - Dr. Martin Luther King
A shocking realization during the pandemic is the lack of political leaders capable of independent thinking with information from multiple sources. They talk and follow each other. Herd thinking at the highest level. That is dangerous.
During the 16th century reformation, many lay people understood the bible better than most priests.
During the 21st century pandemic, many lay people understood science better than most scientists.
Long terms implications will be equally profound.
The catastrophe that never came: "Sweden's low death toll is an uncomfortable truth for the media and politicians in many countries. It proves that millions of peoples lived unfree to no avail." -

Natural immunity after Covid recovery is superior to vaccine immunity. To fire the unvaccinated was pure discrimination. Honest employers would reinstate them with an apology and backpay.
In Israel, vaccinated individuals had 27 times higher risk of symptomatic COVID infection compared to those with natural immunity from prior COVID disease [95%CI:13-57, adjusted for time of vaccine/disease]. No COVID deaths in either group.
Many lockdowners have gone silent on Twitter, but a few still don't comprehend the devastating effects that ineffective lockdowns had on children, the working class and the poor around the world.
Lockdowns:
- Postpone infections, prolonging the pandemic
- Generate more contagious variants, increasing herd immunity threshold needed for endemic stage, so more people infected
- Cause collateral damage on other health outcomes
- Put biggest burden on kids and working class
Lockdowns did not protect older high-risk people from covid, but they harmed education, public health and the economy. Children, the working class and small businesses took the brunt of the damage.
"Lockdowns are the single worst public health mistake in the last 100 years. We will be counting the catastrophic health and psychological harms, imposed on nearly every poor person on the face of the earth, for a generation" -Dr Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford
Lockdowns just postponed the inevitable, while causing enormous collateral damage on cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, tuberculosis, mental health, education, ...
With open schools and no masks for ages 1-15 in Sweden, there were zero COVID deaths among its 1.8M children during first wave. Teachers had lower risk than average of other professions.
So, we knew early on that schools are safe without masks.
2/ 2. While understanding masks are effectively generally at preventing transmission, I don’t know of any peer reviewed studies of mask mandates *in schools*. I get “better safe than sorry” but is there peer reviewed data? I haven’t seen any —
Ouch. The lockdowns
@JeffBezos
advocated for closed small businesses while he made billions. Not realizing that lockdowns also caused inflation is a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics.
“My wife .. worked at the hospital that had the highest Covid death rate in all of NYC. She went down hard w/Covid .. recovered and went back. For 15 years she served the poor .. She resigned on Friday .. These

must fail.”
Many hospitals demand that employees with prior COVID disease get vaccinated, despite already having stronger longer lasting immunity. If hospitals cannot get the medical evidence right on this one, how can we trust them with other aspects of our health?
In Israel, vaccinated individuals had 27 times higher risk of symptomatic COVID infection compared to those with natural immunity from prior COVID disease [95%CI:13-57, adjusted for time of vaccine/disease]. No COVID deaths in either group.
Why is the government setting up a Disinformation Board when CDC is already doing a swell job spreading their covid disinformation? Is the purpose to expand their spread of disinformation to other areas?
The doubt/denial of immunity after prior COVID disease, and the resulting vaccine passports/mandates, is gravely damaging the confidence in both public health authorities and vaccines.
Study after study have shown that natural immunity after covid infection is superior to vaccine immunity. Just as one would expect. Forcing the vaccine on everyone is a stain on hospitals, universities and public health officials. How can we trust them on other matters?
Yes,

@NEJM
article is great not only bc it shows natural immunity (A) provides greater protection than vax (B) against future infection, but it calls into question the very idea of "hybrid immunity":
An extra vax dose (C) doesn't seem to add much to nat immunity
Microsoft News republished our op-ed on 'How Fauci Fooled America' with his public health edicts. Most comments are positive and positive comments have more likes. The tide has turned. Politicians, journalists and science leaders will follow.
As the laptop class is now getting infected with Covid, it is nice to hear more voices arguing against shaming the sick. We are returning to basic public health principles, slowly.
Lockdowns caused enormous collateral public health damage, which we now much deal with.
Lockdowns harmed the economy, which we now must deal with.
Lockdowns exposed ignorance and herd thinking in universities, public health agencies and the media, which we now must deal with.
We all lost. Especially children, the working class and the elderly. That the Great Barrington Declaration (
@gbdeclaration
) was proven right hopefully means that devastating pandemic restrictions will never ever happen again.
