Covid 19 hysteria - Irish scientists offer a counter narrative

I am glad to learn that a number of Irish doctors have written a white paper arguing against lockdowns as a measure to combat Covid-19. This is a very welcome antidote to the scaremongering and hysteria in the government and main stream media's reporting on and response to the virus. (I could say that the media's response "lacks scientific rigor" - but it is a bit more serious than that at this stage in my opinion.)

The white paper can be found at https://covidrecovery.ie/ .

Bullet points:

- "Mortality impacts from Covid-19 are ... within the envelope of previous recent significant respiratory seasons.".
- The PCR tests which have been used to identify infected patients are largely unsuitable. Furthermore - even if these tests were suitable - the manner in which they are being employed is highly inappropriate. Specifically, the 'cycle threshold' is being set at an extremely high value - such that the test indicates 'positive' even when the 'amount of virus' is medically insignificant.

I don't believe that the Government or main-stream media will actually heed the advice or recommendations in the paper however.
