1/ "The American press has been unrelentingly negative in its COVID coverage, even when there is good news to tell. But there is a lot of good news. The CFR from the virus has dropped sharply. The infection survival rate is 99.95% for people under 70/ 95% for people over 70..."
2/ "The burden of [lockdowns] falls disproportionately on some of the most vulnerable. Isolation led to a 20% increase in dementia-related deaths...in the US shows that patients skipped cancer screenings, childhood immunizations, diabetes visits, and even for heart attacks."
3/ "Internationally, the lockdowns have placed 130M pple on the brink of starvation, 80M children at risk for diphtheria, measles, polio, and 1.8M at risk of death from TB. WEF estimates an additional 150M to fall into extreme poverty, 125X as many pple as have died from COVID."
4/ "The neglect of the good COVID news breeds panic and fear, which is never a good public health strategy. The public should know that the pandemic will not be here forever...like every other pandemic in human history, the COVID pandemic will end." https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/528612-facts-not-fear-will-stop-the-pandemic
