Governments around the world say they are following ‘The Science’ with their draconian measures to stem the spread of the virus. But the science around Covid-19 is bitterly contested. Many experts have serious doubts about the effectiveness of the measures, and argue that our outsized fears of Covid-19 are not justified. Knut Wittkowski is one such expert who has long argued for a change of course. For 20 years, Wittkowski was the head of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design at The Rockefeller University’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science. spiked spoke to him to find out more about the pandemic.

Could someone please send this to President Trump and all the governors. This doctor makes sense.
We all know that this does not matter to the governors in, PA, CT, NJ, VA, ME, MI IL, WA, NY, etc. You know the democrat governors. They have been given their orders to comply with the goal of the DNC at any cost to their constituents. You know it is political with these governors because they keep moving the goal posts.

The shutdown was based on some modeling done in England. I wonder if this is the same modeling they use for "global warming?"

An interesting article. Understand it is now banned on YouTube. At some point, when Democrats figure out that shutting down the country isn't working for them, look for them to latch onto this professor's theory. That will give them the mother of all arguments to blame Trump for ignoring science and destroying the country.

I have resigned myself to the idea that this will drag on until November, barring Divine intervention.

I would be the happiest person on this Earth if I never hear the words Covid-19 again! I am sick and tired of it and all that comes with it. I feel like we were "snowed"! We didn't really need to shut down our country, but the Democrats had their "People" spreading fear and so Trump caved and did it. Fortunately, I think he realized what was going on early enough and demanded we start opening up. I think we can save most of the Economy, but sadly a lot of small businesses won't survive. Trump should get out there and start to campaign. Who cares if the Democrats don't like it. He should plan a Rally for next month sometime. I would bet he could fill a Stadium right now! There are a lot of people, like me, who have had enough of this nonsense and are going about their lives! Here in Florida, things are almost back to normal. Restaurants are now open to 50% seating inside. And they will be full! Every where I go I see people gathering like they used to. They have no fear of the Virus. And our numbers continue to go down! People like Fauci have been pushed to the back of the Room and Trump, once again, is going with his gut! He's right again! Time to move ahead and make America Great Again!

Spiked also parrots the RAT line that Trump is incompetent.

Well one can certainly see why this person is so dangerous and why his articles and thoughts must be censored...he tells the truth. The truth is a very dangerous commodity today. Kills a lot of things. Like the narratives of the enemedia, and the political careers of a lot of Karens.
No wonder social media are frantically erasing it as fast as their little hands can go.

How about following science regarding baby humans growing inside their Mother’s tummy?

Facts don't matter when the herd is stampeding. Here's what the cowboys knew: "If by any mishap the herd gets off on a real stampede. it is by bold, dashing, reckless riding in the darkest of nights, and by adroit, skillful management that it is checked and brought under control."
Where are our leaders making that needed bold, dashing, reckless ride applying adroit, skillful management to bring this under control? I haven't seen any...they've all become prisoners to "science" and their own scardycat mentality.

Yes, this same type of "science" is also behind Global Warming. Believe the "experts" and the wolf cryers, believe without seeing any actual problems and just send money. Shutting down the country for the benefit of less than one percent of the population makes about as much sense as sending your new car to the junkyard because it needs a new wiper blade.

We should never have shut down this economy. It is amazing that there was never any discussion about it. It was a huge mistake. We should forget about the funding packages going through Congress to pay people not to work. Re-open the economy and all this deficit spending would not be necessary. Forget the whole thing and the airlines would not go bankrupt, nor would the restaurants. How are those NFL players going to be paid $15 million a year to play a kids games 6 months a year, if nobody is at the stadium, and their tv audience wanes due to a sanitized experience? The shutdown is designed to fail, but politicians don't want to admit their mistakes.

The Dems thought Trump would ignore the whole thing.
Then they could yell bloody murder with each breath.

This is a great interview with a lot of important points, including the fact that governments accepted the initial model that predicted millions of deaths, without bringing in other experts to discuss it, which would seem to be standard procedure but is probably not. This even though the modeler, Neil Ferguson, had been disastrously wrong in previous projections of deaths from epidemics. Wittkowski is now being censored by Big Tech for deviating from WHO's line.
