Website Launched to Document the Harms of Lockdown

by Noah Carl
4 May 2021 2:32 PM

Today marks the official launch of the website Collateral Global, which aims to “to build an evidence-based understanding of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic response measures to inform future policies and strategies for pandemic preparedness”.

The editorial board contains many faces that will be familiar to Lockdown Sceptics readers, including Jay Bhattacharya, Sunetra Gupta and Martin Kulldorff (the authors of The Great Barrington Declaration), as well as Oxford’s Carl Heneghan and the LSE’s Paul Dolan.

Through a series of themed editions, the website promises “original content highlighting everything from expert opinion and academic summaries to human stories and video diaries”. The theme of the first edition is introductory. It includes an editor’s note from Jay Bhattacharya, an essay on the ethics of lockdown by Oxford’s Alberto Giubilini, and several other contributions.

Bhattacharya doesn’t pull any punches in his editorial, which begins:

In 1915, chemistry lost its innocence when mustard gas poisoned British troops in Ypres, Belgium. Physics lost its innocence in 1945 amongst the radioactive rubble of Hiroshima, Japan. Public health lost its innocence in March 2020 when the world adopted lockdowns as a primary tool to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though he acknowledges, “As with war, not everything that came out of lockdown was bad and our reporting will reflect that truth.” According to the FAQs, the website “has no political or institutional affiliations” – its only allegiance is to “the enduring principles of scientific inquiry”.

Collateral Global is set to provide a range of interesting content, so do check it out.

A sensible move, as Trudeau has done in Canada, Starmer when in power will deplatform podcasters and use lawfare against any dissenters.

William Caxton comes to mind in that case. Good old print to the rescue. That and graffiti. They’ll never shut us up.

At a guess I imagine podcasts are regulated by Ofcom.

I wish them luck too. And it makes sense of Toby’s more cuckish comments on the 2020 election and his denial of the Hunter Biden laptop, the censorship of the story by the FBi and big tech under false pretences (rUsSiA hOaX) and the shutting of the new York post for 2 weeks on twitter during the election. Never mind the drop box nonsense, never ending counts and stopping counting votes in Georgia. He has to stay on terms with the powers that be to an extent otherwise they’ll just run him off the road for being “far right”.

Best wishes to Toby and Nick.

I have just subscribed to the YouTube channel and I will check out the website later today.

I hope all goes well.
