Our paper, that we worked hard to produce before the second wave, estimated that 21,000 excess deaths were caused by the 1 week delay in lockdown.
The paper was held up & eventually rejected by the Lancet. By the time it came out it could only offer a post mortem.

It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.

It is not connected to the one lead by David Putrino. The union square is run by a nurse who is pushing SSRIs as the only possible Covid treatment & if you don’t want them they refuse to offer anything else.
