In line with what have been hearing.
Still disturbing for Israel & world seeking salvation in vaccination.
What next?
With low excess death, time to treat COVID-19 in same way flu treated for decades:
* Treat the sick
* Stop sensational news
* Stop releasing PCR case data

If that dude gets funding from the US government he's getting cut off.

A rare voice of reason.

He’s right. A nasty flu season will kill 30-60k in just 4 or 5 months. We don’t even bat an eye.

I don’t think this “doc” is even part of the CDC!

I think part of it is the health professionals have decades of data on Flu and long-term effects of catching flu as a kid. They have no idea what long COVID will be like yet so they are over cautious about it. Will children be fine or will it create lasting effects even if the child doesn't die.

Ok. Shut it all down then.

Yet they are not overly cautious about pushing a vaccine which we don’t know the long term effects either.

Sounds like a quack to me, /sarc off

He's right, but you are wrong. This is a different order of magnitude than seasonal flu. This killed 300,000 in the same time the flu usually kills 30,000 - AND this was in spite of all the social distancing! Way worse than flu.
With that said, he's still correct - we should move on. Should have done so after April 2020.

They arent counting deaths the same and you know it. No one hit by a fricking bus with influenza is being counted as a flu death.
Even if they were, the death rates are way down. The covid death count from April-July (4 months) is under 60K. We had over 60K flu deaths in the 17-18 season. And thats WITH a widely available and effective seasonal flu shot. Covid will only get less deadly and more resilient against vaccines as it mutates.
He's absolutely right. The only person who can defeat covid is Mother Nature.

now speaks out.
He’s been pretty “vocal” about the overreaction to SARS 2.0 since the beginning.* He’s one of the “fringe” that suddenly doesn’t know science anymore, and was involved with the Great Barrington Declaration.
* I’m taking “now” to mean “finally,” not as “just now.”

It’s almost like non-pharmaceutical interventions like social distancing and masks do frick all.
Hmmm....

PCR tests, Doctors right to call a CV case w/out testing & thousand$ of med insurance payments per patient= the # isn’t anything close to 300k
