"Current lockdown and curfew policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice. 

Keeping these measures in place... will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed."

The above excerpt is from the Great Barrington Declaration which has been co-signed by hundreds of Medical and Public Health Scientists and Medical Practitioners from across the globe. See for yourself at the links provided below.
