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.
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.
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:
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

There is a larger segment of the American population now catching-on to the political ruse that underlines the COVID fear. With Florida as an example of how COVID is not the threat the U.S. federal government claims it to be, more people are starting to ask common sense questions.
Fauci is a political operative within the bureaucracy. This was evident from his first entry into the public spotlight. Fauci claims masks may be needed into some unknown future, again because of some fearful determinations that have absolutely no basis in science or research. This is propaganda.
COVID-19 hype was a political effort with assistance from U.S. media.

Sometimes within a 24 hour period Fauci will make a statement, then contradict the initial assertion, then attempt to cloud his own conflict with obtuse and wordy explanations.

An entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of more than $136 billion, Bill Gates founded Microsoft and technology; is deeply involved with the World Health Organization, which encompasses the world economy and world peace; the international Planned Parenthood Foundation, focusing on eugenics and population control; and the many facets of academia, all without the corresponding educational background. He is now prepared to control our food supply, the climate, and shoot for the sun.
* * *
Bill Gates is one of several non-academics who, notwithstanding, has been permitted to implement major changes in our education system in preparation for a federal takeover. Promoted by President Obama’s administration, the schools now communicate a radical political ideology to produce workers for a global economy. Had their intentions been honorable, they might well have reverted back to the older textbooks when the overhaul proved to be less than stellar, but it was progressing precisely according to plan.
Although I’ve provided greater detail in past essays, we’re due for a recap because the globalists have instituted so much more. Boards of Education (B of E) have increased their indoctrination by fabricating a history in which “revolution, religion, gender, and racial groups” have negatively shaped our culture. Historic truth is absent. Our students know little about America’s history, our founding, and the laws that were enacted to provide freedom for all. Today’s textbooks portray the United States as an evil empire to be loathed, disrespected, and replaced by a socialist/Marxist governance. The political Black Lives Matter curriculum encourages racial divisiveness and victimology, which I view as the Obamas’ vengeance against the white population.
Math was first made so difficult that parents can often not help with homework – all in the name of equity – that children may struggle equally. Now, the Gates Foundation is bankrolling “anti-racist” math, so that students need not show the correct answer and to “dismantle the classroom’s power structure.” As marriage and family are continually disparaged, and broken homes, single mothers and neglected children disregarded, the left is removing courses where white students were said to excel. National standards weaken the students and diminish any individual talents they may have. Playtime was reduced drastically and now the children hate school.
Removing phonics from the reading program results in fewer readers and increased illiteracy. Students are being robbed of the joys of sounding out new words and reading on their own. Reading has been made more frustrating and overwhelming. Classic literature is also under attack, particularly as today’s teachers under lockdown announced they want to drop Shakespeare from the curriculum. The replacement recommendations are dystopian and sexualized stories that are far beyond the children’s comfort levels and coping skills. The frontal lobe’s maturity level to handle such situations does not mature until about age 25, so their reading experiences are decidedly unpleasant. Our enemy within is disenfranchising and under-educating our youths to discourage their reading and exercise of independent reasoning and reckoning, rendering an equivalent of the Nazi book burningunnecessary.
Math and reading test scores had dropped significantly in 2006, the graduation rates of major US cities down to 52%, with an abysmal 70% for the national average, and the administrations continue to ignore parents’ requests to remove Common Core. Gates somewhat laughed when he admitted to the project’s failure, but he was willing to test other methods on our nation’s children. Of course, offspring of the elite attend private schools.
When the failures of No Child Left Behind became obvious, Obama and Gates embraced another disastrous program, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). They then removed the requirement that teachers must have mastery over their subjects, and employed unqualified teachers. The solution was equity, replacing meritocracy with uniformity, but without grades and competition, the students lost their incentive to learn and succeed. I do not agree that Bill and Melinda Gates meant well. They invested millions to accomplish precisely what they achieved. They openly admit to seeking population reduction, restraining humanity and limiting freedom under a globalist rule. The decline of education was a deliberate success for them.
Gates’s Common Core continues to be the left’s focus. Students’ rights are being crushed through intersectionality, the system that divides them into competitive groups to force feelings of oppression. American exceptionalism is all but extinguished, and scholastic achievement has become a social justice agenda. Our students have been trained to hate Jews, Christians, all white people, the family unit, and different opinions. They’ve been taught to believe that males and females function similarly, but that there are more than 59 sexes. The young victims agree to abortions, myriad sexual deviances and mutilation, while succumbing to permanent emotional damage. Indeed, the children are told they can change their sex, but are actually undergoing disfigurement and dismemberment so that they will never be able to produce the next generation – an horrific scheme for depopulation.
In mid-February, 2021, the Senate considered The Equality Act, which removes from our vocabulary the differences between the two sexes, which amounts to ignoring science and the existence and qualities unique to both sexes. It endangers women and defeats women’s sports competitions, and diminishes the masculinity we count on for protective forces. It was also a week ago that The Ohio State University announced its support of freshmen girls’ prostituting themselves during annual “Sex Week.” Other perverted presentations for teens include toxic masculinity, binary genders, sex in faith settings, and “Kink 101.” And OSU is not alone.
Gates owes his wealth, his influence and, above all, his ideology of eugenics to his parents, Mary, and Bill Sr. Building upon the concept of “philanthrocapitalism,” in which the skills of the fabulously rich are applied to the world’s problems, their attentive young son now eagerly carries on his parents’ dream, the weeding out of “others,” the “deplorables,” the untermenschen, the racism that they and the Nazis advocated. Such “philanthropists” are committed to securing the world for their kind. Gates invokes ‘the rich world’s enlightened self-interest” and warns that “if societies can’t provide for people’s basic health, if they can’t feed and educate people, then their population and problems will grow and the world will be a less stable place.” In an interview, he warned “huge population growth in places where we don’t want it, like Yemen and Pakistan and parts of Africa.” The magisterial “we” being the rich.
Without death camps and ovens (for now), it is still possible to reduce the population directly, through the Gates Foundation’s involvement in global vaccinations, and indirectly, through education – with equity to equalize outcome, where none are better and none are worse, and no hope for singular achievement and improvement. It is only equality that can provide every human being with freedom and equal opportunity to rise, each according to his innate abilities, efforts, and dreams. Bad learning experiences are known to affect children negatively by stifling their emotional growth and causing depression, an effective means of reducing population. Those who react in frustration and anger are used on the streets as the rabblerousers, the rebellious, the army of the left.
In his latest outburst of academic genius, our hero of philanthropy is now bankrolling a group of 25 educational organizations to defend non-white students from math because correct answers are racist, capitalist, and imperialist views. In order to turn the tables and blame “white supremacists” for the underachievement of brown and black students, the elimination of the grading system is said to “combat racism.” Rather, this has intentionally increased racism by turning the tables against the white population. The left has implemented a shame-and-blame society, reviving the victimhood of black slaves while also victimizing the whites for the slavery of previous centuries.
As schools continue their descent into a madness, Bill Gates, devoid of any medical background, may now branch out into other fields – healthcare and vaccinations. From 1933 to 1945, Nazi physicians and medically trained geneticists began developing racial health policies, including “medical” experimentation to advance their racial and ideological views and sterilization that harmed many minorities, and nearly annihilated Europe’s Jewish population. Gates Sr., proponent of Planned Parenthood (PP), set the mindset for Gates Jr., and vaccinations gone wrong in Africa and India. A former PP clinic director revealed that girls were receiving prescription contraceptives without doctors’ orders, thereby endangering them while increasing PP’s Medicaid reimbursement.
Gates made the DTP (Diptheria-Tetanus-Pertussis) vaccine a priority for African babies, yet Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., reported that ten times more African children died of Gates’s DTP vaccine than those not vaccinated. Still, Gates remains the de facto authority. He was responsible for India’s polio-eradication campaign in 2011 that caused 47,500 cases of vaccine-induced polio paralysis. He also promoted the highly controversial Pentavalent vaccine (hepatitis-B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and Hib/haemophilus influenzae type-b), which was banned by Japan, UK, Canada and the US for its unprincipled experimentation, uninformed consent, and forced medical procedures. Is there anyone who still cannot recognize the connection of the present to the not-so-distant past?
This is likely to continue unabated, as the Gates Foundation is essentially unaccountable, moving freely between the private and public spheres. Not burdened by democracy or national sovereignty, Gates himself gloated, “I’m not gonna get voted out of office.”
Kennedy also reported on April 14, 2020, that Anthony Fauci’s NIAID gave $3.7 million to scientists at the Wuhan Lab, to fund experiments on bats from the local caves. Researchers warned they were playing with fire. The prophetic Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates predicted a pandemic just before President Trump assumed office. Now, a new, severe syndrome has been revealed – a Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children – following their recuperation from the COVID-19 virus. Doctors are warning that COVID vaccines may be causing autoimmune attacks in heart and brain, and Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has issued warnings of the depopulation effects of vaccines within three to six months. Yet, Gates remains the guru of global health, securing himself from any litigation.
Gates’s RNA approach to the coronavirus, considered promising for pandemics and other applications, is admittedly challenging for the elderly, but promising for the young. During a May 2020 interview, he declared that he wants the entire world force-vaccinated, while seeking exoneration of any liability for himself and pharmaceutical companies. The vaccinations could be made compulsory (against the individual’s rights), compelled by the Supreme Court for the protection of public health and safety, and considered constitutional, as it did during the 1905 smallpox epidemic, and Bill Gates stands to profit by the millions.
This necessitates some revelatory information about how Gates would then extend his control to vaccination cards and universal testing requirements, Agenda ID2020, as part of a vaccination package. The agenda was designed and backed by the Rockefeller Foundation, Accenture, the WEF and GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations), a centralized general electronic data collection to include 200 points per citizen, for such as bank accounts, shopping habits, health records, political inclination, etc. This is his entrée to complete control over all citizenry, including their right to bear children, attend government-controlled schools, travel, start businesses and hiring procedures, to qualify for national healthcare and voting rights, ad infinitum.
So drastically out of touch, Gates was shown smirking during a TV interview, as business owners have shut down, workers lost jobs, the elderly suffered from loneliness, and students agonized from isolation and ended their own lives. He calmly said the people must continue on lockdown.
On February 26th it was announced that litigation is beginning for Crimes Against Humanity, an offense in the international criminal law, adopted in the Charter of the International Military Tribunal (Nuremberg Charter), for the full devastating impact and domination inflicted on the public as a consequence of the “wholly fraudulent” corona virus (corona scandal), from which no extra deaths have been reported – the collateral damage from the lockdowns, destruction of businesses and people’s lives, and the imposition of masks that are considered very damaging to the psychological and physical health of the wearer. The group of attorneys of several countries are seeking legal reparations for all who have been adversely affected. The information will also include a review of the dangerous Great Reset, to fight for the implementation of a truly independent justice system. Please listen to Dr. Reiner Fuellmich here.
Gates has the proverbial finger in every pie. He already believes humans should be eating synthetic beef, and with his recent purchase of 242 acres of farmland and nearly 27,000 acres of other land across 19 states, he is America’s farmland king in control of agriculture. In agreement with AOC’s desire to make cattle farming a thing of the past, thereby depriving Americans of beef, dairy products and leather, Gates may now control the production of plant food. Dare we expect this disciple of extinction to increase food production or is it more likely that he’d proceed along the path of Stalin’s “Great Purge” of 1932, the political starvation of 13.9 million Ukrainians.
