GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT COVID-19 POLICIES

   On October 4, 2020 a landmark declaration was released by its three of the world’s most eminent public health policy experts inviting others to sign the document. Known as the Great Barrington Declaration – which stated that |”As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.”
    As of September, 2022, approximately 940,000 scientists, health care providers and other leaders world- wide have signed the Great Barrington Declaration (also link below) shattering early claims by leaders of the Covid-19 response that there was a “consensus” on many issues including the efficacy of lockdowns. The Declaration represented a profound departure from the approach taken by so many jurisdictions around the world including Canada that undertook harsh measures including mandates and lockdowns. Ironically, despite these lockdowns and mandates, Canada experienced some of the highest levels of mortality from Covid-19 in comparison to other developed nations and spent more money than almost any other OECD nation – in other words – a major failure of public policy.
