The most disheartening part of this pandemic has been scientists who've been repeatedly wrong, driving policies that've led to loss of life & suffering blaming those who've argued for mitigations throughout as being 'pro-lockdown' when they've done everything to prevent this. 🧵
The worst part of this is that the scientists who argued for sensible measures never had any influence or power- not in SAGE, not outside SAGE. They were consistently ignored. Who were listened to? Heneghan, Gupta, and now Balloux. But sure, blame those who wanted to save lives.
The reason we've needed lockdowns is because of the normalisation of mass infection carried out by groups like HART, UsForThem, GBD proponents, and Global collateral. They've had preferential access to MPs who have parroted their points to justify mass infection.
So when you look at the >170,000 dead, and 1.2 million with long COVID, including 77,000 children of whom 14,000 have now been ill more than a year - don't you dare call those who argued to prevent this 'pro-lockdown', or people who don't care about the disabled and vulnerable.
This suffering in pain is yours to own.
