1. Zero publicity given to this article so far from mainstream. ZERO.
2. Vast majority doctors (by far) won't know of this at all based on #1; of the very few that do, there's a huge swathe that is hardline pro-vax and have bought into the vax or nothing and pro-vax vs. anti-vax narratives. Then there's another huge contingent that fears retaliation and/or reputational risk and won't speak up.
3. How about reading what these 80 doctors had to say, instead of finding whatever other reason you can muster besides their actual message to denigrate them.
So not on Fox? Breitbart? The Blaze?
Huh. It's almost like even if places for whose agenda it would PERFECTLY line up with won't broadcast it then maybe it's not very meaningful.
80 doctors is 0.003% of doctors in the UK. That's 3 one thousandths of one percent. You can find 0.003% of people from any field to say anything.
As to the substance of it, I read through some but some of it is over my head. A lot of it is very much just broad points and general speculation though. "Lockdown was psychologically harmful to children". How harmful? Based on what? Is this a foot doctor saying this, or a psychologist?
Lots of other similar stuff too like "they dismissed the ivermectin study because it wasn't peer reviewed, but they didn't require a mask study or lockdown study to be peer reviewed". As doctors, they obviously know there are very specific requirements before you can start just injecting stuff into people's bodies that are different from behavioral changes, so they're clearly acting in bad faith with statements like that.
I'm sure there are some fair points in there that are over my head. Most of it is just broad generalized opinions though. "They relied too heavily on modeling which isn't always accurate". Okay. Maybe? I'm open to the idea but that's just a statement.
Ultimately their broader point seems to be that the psychological damage done to children via masks/lockdowns outweights the physical damage they prevented to the mostly elderly people that suffered at the hands of the disease. But that's purely conjecture. They don't even reference one single psychologist among the group. It's just an idea, floated out there, like any idea anyone could come up with.
I'm open to hearing about some of the points, but the broader speculation is just that. And like I mentioned above, it's 0.003% of the country's doctors speculating it. You can probably find just as many doctors that think covid is a punishment sent by Cthulhu and the proper way to stop it was to get in a spaceship and fly to the house of Cthulhu and beg forgiveness.
