Like H5N1, COVID-19 was full of unknowns. The federal government’s biggest mistake was to aspire to an illusion of consensus rather than welcoming debate. The federal government silenced anyone who disagreed, scientists added. The result has been a long series of deaths, ranging from closing businesses to requiring masks in final schools.
In October 2020, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a fitness professor at Stanford, and Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a former professor of medicine at Harvard, co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, in which it appeared that protecting the elderly and vulnerable, rather than shutting down the entire nation, would save more lives.
