A list of those who so under-estimated the fatality rate of COVID-19, that they *require more people be infected than actually exist.*

As further context:
1) Herd immunity prevents one from getting near 100% of the population infected, making the claims of those on this thread even worse.
2) COVID-19 deaths really are COVID-19 deaths:

So that's at least 23 people/groups who greatly under-estimated COVID-19's fatality rate:
- 5 associated with Stanford Univer.
(Levitt, Bhattacharya, Bendavid, Ioannidis, Atlas)
- 3 associated with the Great Barrington Declaration
(Gupta, Bhattacharya, AIER in 5/K + 15/K)

Of the the 24 people/groups listed above, 6 were advisors to the vaccine denialist group PANDA:

To wrap up:
~0.5% - ~2% of infected people died in the regions mentioned in the above list. That's way more dangerous than seasonal flu. And that's around an order of magnitude more than was claimed by those in this thread.
