1/ Dr. John Ioannidis interview:

2/ "The corollary of having high-risk groups is that there must be low-risk groups...We can’t treat everyone as 'high risk' because then the high risk won’t get the extra attention and care they deserve."
3/ "in our approach to controlling coronavirus we made no distinction between teenagers partying on beaches in Florida and debilitated, frail residents living in congested nursing homes in NYC. Our uniform approach was neither scientific nor safe."
4/ "By the time the first death from COVID in the US was recorded, the virus had comfortably set foot in America. By believing the virus was deadlier than it actually was, we underestimated how far it had spread, and thus allowed the virus to be more deadly than it needed."
