Final Congressional Report on COVID Policies

December 7, 2024 antivax

From 2020-2023, anyone who questioned the COVID-19 “consensus” was ridiculed, condemned, vilified, silenced, ostracized, and accused of being a “conspiracy theorist” who was causing “vaccine hesitancy” and “killing grandma”. Big Tech and social media banned top doctors and scientists who questioned the unprecedented lockdown of healthy people. Several MDs had their licenses threatened or lost their jobs.

From October 1-4, 2020, the American Institute for Economic Research hosted a remarkable meeting of top epidemiologists, economists, and journalists, to discuss the global emergency created by the unprecedented use of state compulsion in the management of the Covid-19 pandemic. The result was The Great Barrington Declaration, which urged a “Focused Protection” strategy in which only the elderly, the most vulnerable people, would be locked down and the rest of society would function as normal.

The Declaration was written from a global public health and humanitarian perspective with special concerns about how the COVID-19 strategies were forcing children, the working class, and the poor to carry the heaviest burdens. The response to the pandemic in many countries focused on lockdowns, contact tracing and isolation, imposed enormous unnecessary health costs. The Declaration warned that the policies would lead to higher COVID and non-COVID mortality than the focused protection plan called for in the Declaration.
