So many experts made apocalyptic projections of millions of deaths based on this WHO-funded model's R0.

None of them has any idea how the number was made, as the clown who made it won't share it. None of them is even asking for it

Hysteria is the best antidote to clear thinking
-A charlatan predicts an apocalypse with numbers
-WHO funding & good PR gets his moronic numbers lots of press
-Blinded by hysteria, experts call for a global shutdown before even getting to see the numbers
-Any questions & objections means you want to see millions die.
Suspending critical thinking whenever someone has a scare story is not intelligent caution. It just means you're easily manipulated.

Enjoy the hysteria, but don't expect intelligent grown-ups to go along with every chicken little adventure you get manipulated into.
This clown & his paymasters at the WHO are demanding the shut down of the entire planet based on data they won't take 5 minutes to post online for others to review.

All of your favorite experts & politicians are being manipulated into hysterical submission by this 1 simple trick
In 2009, the same "scientist" used the same model to demand the UK closes its schools or else Swine flu would decimate the population. Schools didn't close & Swine flu deaths were a rounding error next to regular flu deaths. He still kept his model & job

11 years later this "scientist" is still using the same spectacularly failed model and still won't open source it for scrutiny.

But because media, govt & academia are made up of gullible simpletons, we must ruin the lives of billions, just in case his dumb model is right.
UNBELIEVABLE! Before sharing his data, our scholar-hero has changed his mind.

10,000 extra deaths in the UK is less than a 10% increase in the usual annual number of respiratory deaths.

But don't let that get in the way of a good self-righteous hysteria
As soon as some scrutiny revealed how ridiculous his numbers were, our fiat scientist not only changed his tune, but also takes the credit for saving you from the disease

Carlos Slim's hysteric blog is staffed with the kind of easily impressionable hicks and hacks who will base an entire article on the name of a university's reputation, and not spend a minute trying to look into the ridiculous numbers behind it.
