1. Astonishing that the link to the @gbdeclaration in this piece takes you to a defamatory article in the @guardian rather than the GBD website, gbdeclaration.org

2. Misrepresenting the @gbdeclaration as a “let-it-rip” strategy and yet endorsing focused protection has lately become a common ploy among scientists and journalists but it is disappointing to see it trotted out by old friends and colleagues.

3. Those who are desperate to distance themselves from the GBD fail to acknowledge is that it is impossible to avoid the harms of lockdown and yet mitigate spread.

4. Lockdown is not just a dial you can turn up and down at will. Focused protection presents the only viable solution, given the harms of lockdown.
