The Great Barrington Declaration is a breath of fresh air in light of the COVID-19 crisis. It was authored by top “infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists” to explain the current COVID-19 lockdowns should be terminated, immediately.
Over 9,541 medical/public health scientists, and 25,147 medical practitioners have signed the document as of this writing. 447,857 concerned citizens have also penned the document.
So where is the media coverage folks?
This is a major deal that is not receiving much press. We all know why, it goes against the mainstream narrative. According to Breitbart, Google had even blocked The Great Barrington Declaration for a while.
The Great Barrington Declaration
We are going to quote this document for you, this is very important. As you read these quotes, understand this document was written by those on “the left and right”. Together, they warn keeping the current COVID-19 lockdown
Measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.
They also make sure to note, we should only be assisted by vaccination, “not dependent upon” it. Vaccination should always be a choice. Some of us have a problem with aborted fetus cells that are in vaccines.
Let’s read some more of it together.
Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.
If you are a reader of this site, these doctors are confirming what we have known all along. The old with chronic health conditions are primarily those in danger, while the younger are not. The CDC has documented those facts as well.

As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.
Minimize harm to those who are susceptible to the virus. That is just common sense, something we all know. Further, the fact of the matter is COVID-19 has a mortality rate of just .02% according to the CDC.
The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.
More common sense.
Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal.
Failure to do this further proves governments are exerting tyranny over the people in an effort to steal more control from them, and radically change our world. It further proves documents such as Rockefeller ‘Future Scenario’ Becomes Reality Of Coronavirus Pandemic were plans.
The Doctors and Medical Professionals of the document go on to say,
- Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching.
- Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed.
- Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home.
- Restaurants and other businesses should open.
- Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume.
The Great Barrington Declaration closes by simply saying,
People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.
Friends, who can argue with that?
