Vaccines have become a kind of religion we are supposed to “believe in” without question. Yet, questioning and discussion are the foundation of all science. The years of hysteria over COVID provide an important lesson that it’s critical to learn from now with the current measles outbreak which is causing so much hysteria in the corporate media.

From 2020-2023, anyone who questioned the COVID-19 “scientific consensus” was ridiculed, vilified, silenced, ostracized, and accused of being a “conspiracy theorist” causing “vaccine hesitancy” and “killing grandma” Even highly-qualified doctors were ridiculed and ignored. How different the outcome would have been had there only been more open minds in the government and corporate media!

The American Institute for Economic Research hosted a meeting from October 1-4, 2020 of top epidemiologists, economists, and journalists to discuss the global emergency created by the unprecedented use of state compulsion in managing the Covid-19 pandemic. The result was The Great Barrington Declaration which urged “Focused Protection” in which the elderly — the most vulnerable — would be locked down and the rest of society would function normally.

The Declaration explained that the COVID-19 lockdowns imposed enormous unnecessary health costs. The Declaration warned that the policies were forcing children, the working class, and the poor to carry the heaviest burdens and would lead to higher COVID and non-COVID mortality than the focused protection plan called for in the Declaration.

The Declaration was written by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, Dr. Martin Kulldorff then of Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University. The Declaration has since been signed by more than 940,000 people including doctors and scientists!
