Since its launch on October 5th, the Great Barrington Declaration website’s success has exceeded anything we could have imagined. The primary signatories include dozens of leading epidemiologists and professors of medicine, Nobel Prize winner (Chemistry) Michael Levitt, and of course the three co-authors Martin Kulldorff of Harvard, Sunetra Gupta of Oxford, and Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford. As of this writing, over 9,000 health scientists and 25,000 medical practitioners have also signed.

From its original conception, the authors of the Declaration wanted to include the general public in this initiative as well. The Covid-19 response is an unprecedented public health issue, affecting human beings from all corners of the globe. We are proud to announce that in only 10 days, the petition garnered over 500,000 signatures, with representation from almost every country. The people have spoken, and they’ve judged the heavy-handed lockdown approach to the pandemic to be a complete disaster.

Not all are happy with this stunning display of both scientific and popular support though. Instead of engaging the Great Barrington Declaration’s arguments, a small group of pro-lockdown activists from the ranks of the public health profession and journalism have chosen to wage an aggressive name-calling campaign against the petition on Twitter and social media. Their behavior to date is both juvenile and self-discrediting, yet they have also ventured into the territory of outright professional misconduct.

You may have seen the results of the lockdowners’ smear campaign in the tabloid press, with articles asserting that the Declaration was signed by obviously fraudulent names such as “Mickey Mouse”-- excerpt, rest at link above --

It is, isn't it? Full panic mode.
