Almost half a million people have signed this anti-lockdown declaration. Will you?

The cure is becoming worse than the disease (if it hasn’t already), and keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage.

Almost half a million people – including 9,500 medical and public health scientists and over 25,000 medical practitioners – have signed the ‘Great Barrington Declaration’, which calls for an end to current restrictive lockdown policies due to their ‘devastating effects on short and long-term public health’.

Written by three medical professors from the universities of Harvard, Oxford and Stanford, the declaration highlights the issues being caused by fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health thanks to lockdowns worldwide.

The cure is becoming worse than the disease (if it hasn’t already), and ‘keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.’

In stark contrast to the continuing fear-mongering by the government, it states that ‘those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal’, whilst those who are more at risk can make these decisions by themselves. (Bear in mind that, as recently reported, the average age of those who have died from coronavirus in this country is 82.4 years old. This is almost a year higher than the average age of death from all other causes since the start of the pandemic.) This way, ‘society as a whole [can enjoy] the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity’.

If you agree that this is a reasonable and measured response to the virus, you can read and sign the declaration here.
