This is a paper by Mikko Paunio M.D., M.H.S., an adjunct professor in general epidemiology at the University of Helsinki, Department of Public Health. In the course of his career he has worked at the University of Helsinki, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the European Commission, the World Bank, and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. His current position is Medical Counsellor, Ministry of Social Affairs and Health in Finland. You can see a list of his publications here.
Update: Mikko Paunio has written an addendum to his paper, referring to a number of surveys that have been published since he wrote it that seem to support his hypothesis that many more people have been exposed to the virus than the WHO originally estimated, that at least 50% of people infected are asymptomatic and that large cities like New York are close to herd immunity.

Not a peep from the MSM.
If anyone by now, doesn’t recognise there is an organised campaign to hoodwink the public they need their head examined.
Beat me to it, wall to wall coverage from the BBC.
There has not been a single demonstration against Covid restrictions or vaccine mandates world wide, amazing really.
BBC took the mick last year when instead of covering the freedom protests in London on a sat in summer time, they chose to cover an LGBT protest in I think hungry.
I hope they don’t park up which was the Canadians big mistake – to keep circling is the way to go.
Nothing the cops can do about it – it isn’t an offence to drive on the road if you have a licence and are insured.
Maybe GB News will cover it and give it a bit of traction.
I just thought I’d post this (and see if I can).
it would be rather interesting to see a Canada style trucker protest in the states and also the states potential response, just imagine if bank accounts are frozen of US citizens in a country with multiple weapons.
Colonials love to talk a good game about how having guns protects them from tyranny, but I see precious little evidence of it. How many of them have gone down shooting?
You can point at States with Constitutional carry laws and see that they’re correlated with low or brief levels of Coofs despotism, but that’s all it is: correlation. I don’t buy for a second that the oligarchs or their creatures are in the least bothered about the number of guns that the populace has, given that they don’t seem minded to use them for their explicitly intended purpose.
regarding US weapons, my view is the people in the US have the guns, but the state has the minds.
Be interesting to see though a la truedeau style response in a country with a different culture, food for thought.
What is Coofs despotism?
Canada has a higher per-capita gun ownership.
That may well be true, but the population is much smaller and spread over wider areas. So probably a lot easier for a brutal state machine to suppress should it come to that.
Russia!
BURMA!
(I panicked)
Chipangali! (Also has orphans!)
Our great Dr. Paul Alexander and Dr. Pierre Kory are there.

Good on them, although as always the merits of inconveniencing regular people and not the oligarchs’ underlings seem unclear.
My real concern is how many Confederate flags, across-State-lines scaryguns, and copies of Mein Kampf the FBI will plant and find among them before they are all labelled as domestic terrorists.
Just to link this…are the police in Russia citing pandemic rules when dispersing antiwar demonstrations? Word is that a few thousand antiwar demonstrators were arrested in Russia today. If the antiwar movement could link up with the anti Covid restrictions movement, that’d be great.
Pardon me if I remain completely underwhelmed. It took the bloody Canadians to stir up the ‘Government can’t mess with our civil liberties because Constitution’ Americans. In London last year we were pulling in hundreds of thousands weekly, ditto many parts of Europe, and there was barely a peep from the Americans.
It is wonderfully ironic that it was the Canadians, so famous for being ‘law-abiding’ and for not rocking the boat, who were the staunchest in taking the fight to the tyrants. But overall, we all did too little, too late. And for the Americans to bowl up now as if they are ‘fighting for freedom’ is an absolute joke and an insult.
The Jan6th ‘shock and awe’ crackdown had the intended effect on political disent. Most patriots concluded it was best to keep their head down and hope the next election won’t be stolen under the pretext of universal covid postal voting.
Colour me suspicious about this trucker protest – coming as it does just before the midterms when covid restrictions and mandates are slowly being rolled back. Seems ideal timing for another FBI-staged false-flag with armed huwite supremacists ‘threatening our democracy’ or some such staged nonsense.
Whuwhhhwhhite
Urgent – respond to the ‘consultation’ on the Human Rights Act
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/human-rights-act-reform-a-modern-bill-of-rights/human-rights-act-reform-a-modern-bill-of-rights-consultation
Deadline 8th. March, i.e. Tuesday.
Tell them you don’t want individual rights watered down as they propose. If they get away with this, it makes it easier to mandate vaccines … as far as I know, never done in England except for childhood smallpox in the 19th.C, a vac. which was abandoned later that century.
There are also lots of other human rights questions they want answered, if you have time.

Absolutely explosive panel discussion. Steve Kirsch accuses the US government of murdering Americans and covering it up.
McCullough and Renz also speak. Very outspoken. Wow.
On Friday, March 4th, a group of Pennsylvania legislators from both state chambers as well as a group of panelists joined a meeting to discuss COVID-19, medical freedom, and the implications about what many lament is a looming federalization of medicine. Included among those was cardiologist-researcher Dr. Peter McCullough who made the case for the four pillars of COVID-19 care.
Senator Doug Mastriano led the event. This Republican served as host of this event held at the Capitol building in Harrisburg, inviting what many in the medical establishment consider controversial figures including the internationally known Dr. Peter McCullough, MD, MPH but also acupuncturist Brian Ardis as well as multi-millionaire tech entrepreneur and COVID-19 vaccine- skeptic Steve Kirsch and attorney Thomas Renz.

Stunning speech by Steve Kirsch
Would love to get some Ivermectin just in case – but not sure about ordering from a no-name, no-address Indian pharmacy. Might just be selling sugar pills. Also I thought it was supposed to cost 3p/pill but they seem to want $45 for 12. Think I’ll pass and take my chances with the old immune system.
I can’t think of anything more boring about reading a book about Anthony Fauci. And who knows what’s in these tablets you are trying so desperately to flog – road dust and elephant dung swept up off the streets of Delhi and pressed into tablet form?
Anyone who orders ‘Ivermectin’ from India is just prolonging the Covid scam.
The book is a real eye opener – I can assure you it NOT boring!!!
Extremely well written and reasearched.
I won’t pass comment on your disparagement of Indian ivermectin from your tone I take it you have never been o India?
Does West Bromwich count?
