Imperial College London scared the world into locking down with death projections based on fatality estimates that the latest data suggest are up to 20 times higher than the reality.
A leader in today’s Telegraph says the question the Covid inquiry must ask is whether we should have locked down at all. People are beginning to conclude it was a calamitous mistake.
Professor John Ioannidis has written a paper for BMJ Open Research exploring how pro-lockdown scientists used social media to smear sceptical scientists, thereby shutting down debate.
How deadly is COVID-19? Last year Prof John Ioannidis published an analysis of antibody studies which concluded the IFR was around 0.15% globally. Now he's brought out an update – and the IFR has gone down.
Why does Wikipedia's COVID-19 page claim 14% of infections are "severe" and 5% are "critical"? Worse, why does the US CDC say the same? Why aren't they following the up-to-date data, which puts global IFR at 0.15%?
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?
