The Great Barrington Declaration (GBD),
1 under which thousands of scientists and medical practitioners have called for a end to lockdown policies, was drawn up last October 1
st-4
th, was announced on October 5
th, and was already being denounced on October 6
th. Over the next month, the GBD and its message were virtually buried beneath an "avalanche of scathing criticism condemning it as 'very dangerous, unscientific, unethical, total nonsense, dangerously flawed, conspiratorial and grotesque'. Among the critics were prominent role-players such as World Health Organization director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, British chief scientific adviser Patrick Vallance, and US infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci".
2 Defenders of the lockdown consensus released a counter-manifesto, the John Snow Memorandum,
3 ironically named for epidemiology's most famous dissenter from a scientific consensus.
At the time I read everything I could on the topic and made copious notes, hoping to write my own perspective on the GBD. Long before I was in a position to do that, though, the debate had moved on, and I never had an opportunity to revisit the subject.
