Great Barrington Declaration


The Great Barrington Declaration

The Great Barrington Declaration – As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection. 

Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice. 

Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza. 

As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e.  the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity. 

The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection. 

Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals. 

Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.

On October 4, 2020, this declaration was authored and signed in Great Barrington, United States, by:

Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations.

Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School, a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert focusing on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.

A COMING COVID CATASTROPHE


Posted originally on THEHIGHWIRE : March 11, 2021

World renown vaccine specialist, Geert Vanden Bossche, gave a groundbreaking interview this week risking his reputation and his career by bravely speaking out against administration of #Covid19 vaccines. In what may be one of the most important stories ever covered by The Highwire, the vaccine developer shared his extreme concerns about these vaccines in particular and why we may be on track to creating a global immunity catastrophe.

Pandora’s Bossche


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com MAR 25, 2021 AT 12:19 PM

Dr.  Geert Vanden Bossche, a world-renown vaccine expert, made some alarming statements regarding the rush to release COVID-19 vaccines to the public—particularly the mRNA jab. He said it is very dangerous and could cause a catastrophic amount of deaths when new strains of the virus inevitably come about. Bossche’s report can be heard by clicking on this link. Del Bigtree does an excellent job of explaining it to the layman:

https://thehighwire.com/videos/a-coming-covid-catastrophe/

Bossche has seen what’s in Pandora’s Box and is warning the world. He can’t be labeled an ‘anti-vaxer’—he believes in vaccines and has spent decades in the field.

Predictably, Bossche has come under attack from the mainstream corporate media. They explain away the variant danger by saying there’s an easy solution: More vaccines.

It’s almost as if the human immune system is no longer functional. Humans are told we must rely on vaccines for anything and everything. Worse, the money-mad profit makers from vaccines want them to be made mandatory. This is vaccine abuse and medical tyranny.

Canada, the Supreme Court hold that Carbon Tax is Constitutional


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Mar 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Canada, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Ottawa has the power to impose a carbon price across the country as a “matter of national concern.” This is a major win for Trudeau and he can really make sure that the Canadian economy further declines to enable the Build Back Better agenda.

Let me make this VERY CLEAR. Even the US Supreme Court upheld Obamacare by holding it was a “TAX” When Obama deny that. Even the US Supreme Court would have struck down Obamacare as a social program, but as a TAX it held that government can impose ANY tax it so desires and at any rate. When it comes to taxes, the Supreme Courts of Europe, USA, Canada, or Bangladesh, will ALWAYS rule in favor of governmental power to TAX without constraint. They will ignore the history that 99% of all revolutions unfold because of taxes. Therefore, do not be surprised about tax rulings by the courts. This is also when Western society is doomed. We will not be able to sustain this sort of government beyond 2032. So just start planning now for the next real Great Reset which will be the overthrow of republics.

This is why in my solution, TAXATION must be abolished – PERIOD! If we simply printed the amount of money we needed to run government and it is capped at say 5%-10% of GDP, it would be far less destructive than taxation for the debt will never be repaid. At times, the accumulative interest expenditures have reached 70% of the debt showing that the real problem is borrowing in the first place. All of this COVID and Climate Change is a cover-up for the fact that the system of debt is coming to an end. They lowered rates artificially and are now trapped for they dare not allow rates to rise naturally to compensate for the constant rise in supply. Therefore, creating money to cover expenditure would be far better than the present system of taxation and borrowing endlessly.

Dependence of Earth’s Thermal Radiation on Five Most Abundant Greenhouse Gases


Excellent Physics Written by W. A. van Wijngaarden and W. Happer Published on June 8, 2020

The atmospheric temperatures and concentrations of Earth’s ve most important, greenhouse gases, H2O, CO2, O3, N2O and CH4 control the cloud-free, thermal radiative flux from the Earth to outer space. Over 1/3 million lines having strengths as low as 10􀀀27 cm of the HITRAN database were used to evaluate the dependence of the forcing on the gas concentrations. For a hypothetical, optically thin atmosphere, where there is negligible saturation of the absorption bands, or interference of one type of greenhouse gas with others, the per-molecule forcings are of order 10􀀀22 W for H2O, CO2, O3, N2O and CH4. For current atmospheric concentrations, the per-molecule forcings of the abundant greenhouse gases H2O and CO2 are suppressed by four orders of magnitude. The forcings of the less abundant greenhouse gases, O3, N2O and CH4, are also suppressed, but much less so. For current concentrations, the per-molecule forcings are two to three orders of magnitude greater for O3, N2O and CH4, than those of H2O or CO2. Doubling the current concentrations of CO2, N2O or CH4 increases the forcings by a few per cent. These forcing results are close to previously published values even though the calculations did not utilize either a CO2 or H2O continuum. The change in surface temperature due to CO2 doubling is estimated taking into account radiative-convective equilibrium of the atmosphere as well as water feedback for the cases of xed absolute and relative humidities as well as the eect of using a pseudoadiabatic lapse rate to model the troposphere temperature. Satellite spectral measurements at various latitudes are in excellent quantitative agreement with modelled intensities.

A Technical Study in the Relationships of Solar Flux, Water, Carbon Dioxide and Global Temperatures, February 2021 Data


From the attached report on climate change for February 2021 Data we have the two charts showing how much the global temperature has actually gone up since we started to measure CO2 in the atmosphere? To show this graphically Chart 8 was constructed by plotting CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by about 32.0% from 1958 to February of 2021. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree.  Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) is almost un-measurable. The scale on the right side had to be expanded 10 times (the range is 50 % on the left and 5% on the right) to be able to see the plot in the same chart in any detail. The red plot, starting in 1958, shows that the thermal energy in the earth’s atmosphere increased by .40%; while CO2 has increased by 32.0% which is 80 times that of the increase in temperature. So is there really a meaningful link between them that would give as a major problem?

Carbon Dioxide CO2 is not making “ANY” dangerous changes to the global temperature!

The numbers tell us no there isn’t!

The next chart is Chart 8a which is the same as Chart 8 except for the scales which are the same for both CO2 and Temperature. As you see the increase in energy, heat, is not visually observably in this chart hence the need for the previous chart 8 to show the minuscule increase in thermal energy shown by NASA in relationship to the change in CO2. Based to these trends, determined by excel not me, in 2028 CO2 will be 428 ppm and temperatures will be a bit over 15.0o Celsius and in 2038 CO2 will be 458 ppm and temperatures will be 15.6O Celsius. This is what the data shows no matter what the reasons are, so I have no idea how the IPCC gets to predict that the world will end in ten or even twenty years.

The full 40 page report explains how these charts were developed and why using NASA and NOAA data that are used without change to prove that The New Green Deal is not required and any attempt to complete that plan will be a worldwide disaster.

Lawsuits Filed Against Vaccines in International Criminal Court


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Mar 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Hello Marty,

I hope you are well and staying very healthy!

Here is a link related to ongoing deaths from this “gene therapy” spun as a vaccine.
My father-in-law died last Thursday, two days short of 8.6 weeks after receiving his second dose of covid 19 vacciness. I begged and pleaded with my husband’s family not to inject him with this vaccine but my voice was drowned out by personal feelings/belief and reasonings. Additionally, from what I gather, most nursing homes require their residents to be injected. Families are in a very difficult situation when their loved ones are in a nursing home.

Take care and be well.

Karen H.

REPLY: I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I am getting a lot of emails where the elderly do not last more than a few weeks. I went to the dentist and there too, his father died within a week. The elderly are susceptible because they are in a weakened state. Lawsuits are filed in the international court because these vaccines have been given political clearance and have not gone through the normal testing cycle. This violates international law which was supposed to ban human testing, which the Nazis were engaging in. Fauci admitted they were given only an emergency approval. No other drug gets this fast-tracked. What they are doing is criminal.

Masks are Theater


Posted from GrrrGraphics.com on MAR 20, 2021 AT 10:35 AM

Enjoy the Show! Let the virtue signaling commence

Rand Paul got into a verbal jousting match with Dr. Fauci recently. The senator was the clear winner.

An angry Fauci dithered when Senator Paul presented logical evidence that the masks were being used as ‘theater,’ not science. To Paul, the masks are comedy—a joke. To Fauci, they are about protecting us from tragedy. To me, the real tragedy is forcing us into medical tyranny. The pandemic has been staged.

Dr. Fauci is Bill Gates’ point man on the pandemic. Even though the virus has never been isolated or verified, and even though the PCR tests are not dependable, vaccines were rushed out and heavily promoted by politicians (including Trump) and the mass media.

Senator Paul may not like the masks, but he’s all for getting people vaccinated. On FoxNews he claimed the vaccines were ‘very, very safe.’ This includes the mRNA vaccine, which isn’t even a vaccine but rather ‘gene therapy.’ It hacks into the software of life. Gates loves the idea of people getting turned into bio computers who require his constant software updates. Apparently Paul prefers to ignore a plethora of stories that include people dropping dead shortly after getting jabbed. He also alluded that once people are vaccinated, they will again have ‘twinkles in their eyes’ as they get to enjoy their favorite restaurant. This hints at the ominous—we can’t get our freedom back until we get vaccinated.

Bill Gates’ COVID-19 theater production contains far more tragedy than comedy. Senator Paul is correct to laugh at Fauci’s double masks, but it’s tragic that he has ultimately sided with Bill Gates.

Will Covid Alter the Economy?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Mar 23, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Similar to attributing climate change entirely to human activity resulting in CO2, the same error is played out in disease. There is no evidence that social distancing or masks do anything. Just look at the Black Plague (1347-1352 AD), which wiped out about 50% of the population. From an economic standpoint, it was the birth of capitalism and the end of serfdom. The shortage of labor resulted in wages being offered to entice people to work the land of landowners.

However, even genetically, the Black Death didn’t just wipe out millions of Europeans during the 14th century. It left a mark on the human genome. There was no vaccine, so what took place was that some people’s genetic makeup allowed them to survive while others died. Clearly, the Black Plague favored those who carried certain immune system genes while others simply died. The children’s rhyme, “Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posies,” comes from the Black Plague era.

Geneticists know that human populations evolve in the face of disease. This is simply part of life. The Black Plague killed the very old and those already in poor health, just like COVID. The CDC statistics show that only 42 children died of COVID under the age of 17. There is no vaccine that will prevent those with poor health from dying. Certain versions of our genes help us fight infections better than others, and people who carry those genes tend to have more children than those who don’t. So the beneficial genetic versions persist, while other versions tend to disappear as those carrying them die. This raises serious questions about the long-term implications of messing with the genetic makeup that could have long-term effects that nobody can confirm or deny. The Black Pague weeded-out of all but the best genes, which resulted in what is called positive selection.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine does not mess with the DNA. The real question nobody wants to address is the long-term. They call this a conspiracy theory to dare say anything against the vaccine. But the standard claim to just trust the science is pure nonsense. As in economics, studies are paid for because the conclusion is already known. Taking the vaccine does not mean you will never get COVID-19. If you are predisposed to be susceptible to this particular virus, you will still get it, as Forbes Magazine reports. It has often been said in war: Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius (Kill them. For the Lord knows who are His). Perhaps that is what natural-selection is all about.

In 1376, the English Parliament had claimed that “there is not a third part of the people or of other things that there used to be.” Taxation was dramatically altered, as we are starting to witness today. As tax revenues decline, governments will raise taxes. During the Black Plague, taxation was extending down the economic bell curve to embrace everyone. The old fixed assessments and taxing the rich were collapsing with the Black Plague and the wholesale depopulation. When the Anglo-French War restarted again in 1369, this is when the government altered the tax method from taxing property to people.

Because the taxes shifted to the number of people being a “poll tax” rather than property taxes on goods and chattels, this type of tax fell upon the most populated regions, and that was southern England. The first poll tax of 1377 produced 22,000 pounds. The assessment was 4d per person, with the only exception being children under the age of fourteen. The Parliament granted a second poll tax of 1379. This second tax was supposed to be fairer by imposing 4d jointly upon the poorest married couples in a sort of graduated type of tax. However, it produced only 19,000 pounds. In December 1380, Parliament returned to the first model and now tripled the tax-raising it from 4d to 12d per person, and the age limit exempting taxation was raised from fourteen to fifteen. The tax rebellion was now rising. Some 458,356 taxpayers evaded the tax. In London, 102,500 taxpayers were now “missing” from the tax collector records.

Edward III (b 1312; 1327-1377) issued the Statute of Labourers in 1351 that set a maximum rate of pay at pre-plague levels and required all able-bodied men to work. The Black Death created a very dynamic economic impact by increasing individual wealth, reducing the population, creating a shortage of labor, and price inflation.

The reason for the issue of gold coins was naturally the expense of war. The Hundred Years’ War was an on-again, off-again conflict fought between 1340 to 1453 by the House of Plantagenet, rulers of England, against the ruling French House of Valois. The first issue of 1344 was on the gold standard from Florence, Italy. It would see some extraordinary English victories, including the battles of Crécy, Poitiers, and Agincourt, but would also result in some disastrous routs, including those inflicted by Joan of Arc. At stake was the question of who was the rightful King of France.

As the war continued, Edward III introduced England’s first successful gold coinage based on the noble of 138 grains valued at six shillings and eight-pence. It is not exceptionally rare because he produced many to pay for the war. In the face of those expenses and the reduction in tax revenue caused by the Black Plague, this combination of forces led to the tac rebellion of 1381.

The question that lurks on the horizon is that these politicians who have been so eager to follow Klaus Schwab to the destruction of Western Society, the revenue at the state/provincial levels down to municipalities, they too will be forced to raise taxes, and we will inevitably be hurled into tax rebellions in combination with the destruction of the economy all to “Build Back Better,” which is green.
