Do you think the pandemic response might have gone differently if voices such as yours were not suppressed?
Yes... I do really believe censorship kills, and censorship killed during this pandemic. The policies could have been so much better... The policies that were adopted were incredibly damaging to the lives and livelihoods of so many people. 100million people thrown into poverty worldwide: that's the estimate from the World Bank. Just the consequences of that itself are going to have tremendous effects on the lives and livelihoods of people going forward. And of course, all these children were robbed of an education for years. Those are absolutely monumental outcomes of the policies we adopted during the pandemic, and they should have been freely discussed. My view of the scientific evidence is that it was so clear, even at the time, that we should not have been closing schools. And if we had been allowed to have a free and fair discussion, I think the schools would not have closed - if there hadn't been this sort of demerit system for people who spoke up against these kinds of policies.
