Martin Kulldorrf says “science and public policy are broken” after leaving Harvard, presumably in a fit of mutual disgust.
“Comparing our estimate with the CDC-reported VFR (0.002%) suggests VAERS deaths are underreported by a factor of 20, consistent with known VAERS under-ascertainment bias. Comparing our age-stratified VFRs with published age-stratified coronavirus infection fatality rates (IFR) suggests the risks of COVID vaccines and boosters outweigh the benefits in children, young adults and older adults with low occupational risk or previous coronavirus exposure.”
Put another way, Trudeau is defending junk science in terrorizing and trampling over (via his self labeled “jack boots”) Canadians who are voicing valid objections to horrible policy. The scientific rationale for “vaccine” mandates simply does not exist. And this study presumably looked at death numbers from previous variants. Death from Omicron is very, very low, so the case has only become stronger since these researchers started gathering data.
“An analysis of each of these three groups support
the conclusion that lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality.”
The net conclusion, once you run the numbers is that the lockdowns killed AT LEAST hundreds of thousands of people in the United States alone. They saved few lives from COVID, and caused hundreds of thousands of people to miss cancer and cardiovascular disease diagnoses when the illnesses were treatable. Drug overdoses and suicides also went up about 50% from already very high numbers, and there is no reason to think the cascade of effects from all of this, such as depressive and anxiety disorders–which of course are also through the roof–will not continue for some years to drive higher rates of self destructive behaviors originating in despair.
I have been saying of course that all of this is a global crime, and saying it for some time. IT IS THE LARGEST ASSAULT ON THE RIGHTS AND WELL BEING OF ORDINARY PEOPLE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF WARTIME.
And as I have said, the number of people Anthony Fauci and the people paying him to ignore his own science will in the end have killed will be on a scale with the numbers from the World Wars, with no other wars in even remotely the same ballpark.

In a new book called The Year the World Went Mad, Woolhouse expresses regret at SAGE’s involvement in pushing lockdown measures that caused huge devastation yet only served to delay the spread of the virus.
“We knew from February [2020], never mind March, that the lockdown would not solve the problem. It would simply delay it,” said Woolhouse, adding that no one in government appeared to recognize the failing of that strategy.
“The early global response to the pandemic was woefully inadequate,” says Woolhouse, adding that the WHO praising China for its draconian ‘zero COVID’ approach set the scene for similar disasters across the world.
Woolhouse was asked why governments set about imposing such brutal restrictions with seemingly no regard for their consequences.
“There was never at any stage, even by the following year, any form of analysis of the harms caused by lockdowns,” said Woolhouse. “Were they even considered? I haven’t seen any evidence that they were and that is very, very troubling.”
As early as April 2020, SAGE was sent information confirming that lockdowns would “cost three times more years than the disease itself,” but there was virtually no consideration of the fact that “those over 70 had at least 10,000 times the risk of dying as those under 15 years old.”
The government then lied to the public in claiming that the virus “doesn’t discriminate,” despite this being manifestly untrue.
“I heard [the official] argument caricatured as: everyone died, but at least no one was saved unfairly,” said Woolhouse, adding, “BBC News backed up this misperception by regularly reporting rare tragedies involving low-risk individuals as if they were the norm.”
