"Ultimately, New Zealand’s Zero Covid strategy was immoral, incoherent and a grand failure," writes Stanford Professor of Medicine Dr Jay Bhattacharya.

According to the Bookies, the favourite to win this year's Nobel Peace Prize is the WHO. John Tierney in City Journal has some more worthy recipients in mind: Anders Tegnell, Johan Giesecke, Jay Bhattacharya, Sunetra Gupta and Martin Kulldorff.

Anti-lockdown scientists who were smeared and sidelined during the pandemic have set up a new scientific academy committed to the "free exchange of ideas".

The efforts of left-wing lockdown fanatics to smear lockdown sceptics as libertarians in the pay of the Koch brothers has backfired spectacularly, say Jay Bhattacharya and Martin Kulldorff.

Lockdown proponents are seeking scapegoats for the "biggest public health fiasco in history" when they should be examining the impacts of their own ideas, says two of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration.

No surge as schools open in the UK, no surge in free states like Texas and Florida – is anyone in Government watching the real world or are they too busy gawping at the huge bell curves in Neil Ferguson's latest model?

In an original interview with Lockdown Sceptics, Prof Jay Bhattacharya, Professor of Medicine at Stanford, says vaccine passports are a terrible idea, variants are over-hyped and masks are pointless.

by Oliver May New variants are of no concern. There is no need to cancel summer holidays. Millions vaccinated, coupled with immunity from millions of prior infections means we can surf on the crest of the third wave, rather than being remotely concerned about it. In fact, the UK should open now. And vaccine passports, certificates, or whatever name they are being given, will do nothing to improve the health of the population – all headlines we have read and heard over the past week or so. Except, we haven’t. We have heard and read the opposite. And we are instilled with fear from TV and radio adverts, complete with ‘that scary voice’ all too eager to give listeners nightmares, be it your impressionable primary-school-aged daughter, or a frail older lady now terrified into wearing a mask outside while waiting for a bus with no one within a 50-metre radius. But the reality is that the above headlines could have been written – and all based on science. Jayanta Bhattacharya is a Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and one of the co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, the report that called for the focused protection of the vulnerable and no lockdowns, signed by almost 14,000 medical and public health scientists, nearly 42,000 medical practitioners and close to 765,000 concerned ...
