Today, the situation is “completely different” as there is evidence for a “significant degree of established community immunity” to the virus, the authors state.
According to the signatories, multiple published papers show “lockdown measures have little impact on the morbidity and mortality impact of Covid-19”. However, they say, current strategy inseems “oblivious” to the enormous burden of cancer and other diseases and the fact that those disproportionately affected are the most vulnerable in society.
In criticising the “questionable accuracy” of testing methods, the letter claims only a “fraction” of daily reported cases are “clinically significant in terms of transmissibility or impact”.
