Shocking News: The data used to initiate lockdowns was bogus

Twitter Thread
quote:
New article in journal published by Cambridge Univ Press says that testimony to House Oversight Committee in March 2020 mixed up case fatality rate (CFR) and infection fatality rate (IFR) for influenza, resulting in major error.
author Ronald Brown (of University of Waterloo in Ontario) said that House Committee was told that estimated mortality was 10 times higher than seasonal influenza. This was prime argument for lockdown.
Brown observed that New England Journal article, just prior to House testimony, had (incorrectly) said that CFR for seasonal influenza was 0.1% whereas 0.1% is actually the value for IFR (WHO).
Brown observed that CFR and IFR have different definitions in epidemiology and gives a lengthy exposition.
Brown curiously didn't identify the person who, according to Brown, gave the wrong benchmark information on fatality rates for seasonal influenza to Congress, linking to CSPAN in his footnotes.
the expert who, according to Brown, made the 10x error in testimony to Congress is, by now, well known to all of us. It was, needless to say, Anthony Fauci.

No shite. I had twins this year. One of them passed after a week old and the other made it. They were both born at 23 weeks and 1 day old. We have been super safe with no one being around them except us and grandparents. We have been strict with even grandparents seeing our daughter and we realize it sucks but rather be safe than sorry.

Government, on both sides of the aisle, rarely has our interest at heart. It's prudent to scrutinize everything they do.

Fauchi should have to answer this allegation publicly.

So .1% means we could expect 330k deaths.
We are at 200k basically.
How many more are going to realistically occur?
Did the lockdown help reduce the overall number?
Or did it hurt because we cant get to herd immunity as fast and prevent the vulnerable from getting it?
Are the tests too sensitive? Are they so sensitive that if you base opening up on testing numbers you might never open up?

Follow Bachman on Twitter if you get a chance. He posts great covid data daily.

Back in January I made the comment that unless the economy folded, there was no way Trump would lose re election.
I guess I wasn’t the only one who knew that....

I know Trump was in a no win position, and liberal governors would have shut down regardless of his suggestions, but I was disappointed then and still am now that he took this faulty advice an advocated for shutdowns.
