An Open Letter to the President of Stanford, Jonathan Levin: Don’t Censor Drs. Scott Atlas, John Ioannidis, Sunetra Gupta, Marty Marky, Monica Gandhi, Jay Bhattacharya, and Vinay Prasad. Amplify Their Voices.
Your college will quickly be internet hosting a convention titled Pandemic Coverage: Planning the Future, Assessing the Previous. The convention claims to worth “vigorous dialogue and debate on issues of pandemic coverage”, and says that it’s “bringing collectively esteemed teachers, public well being practitioners, journalists, and authorities officers from all sides of the COVID-19 coverage debate.”
Proper off the bat, that is apparent misinformation. There can be no vigorous dialogue and debate on issues of pandemic coverage. The convention organizer, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, fastidiously curated the convention to create an echo chamber and foster groupthink. Unsurprisingly, the audio system agree with him. I’ve extensively quoted a lot of them in my writing, and I do know they mainly marched in lockstep. They have been largely united of their perception that younger individuals needs to be contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 as an alternative of vaccinated towards it, and that the pandemic ended years in the past. Every of those articles/podcasts is by or about one of many audio system:
A extra correct identify for the convention can be “Medical doctors Who Declared The Pandemic Over Years In the past Meet Within the Center of a COVID Surge to Declare They have been Proper“. What might they presumably debate? Maybe medical doctors who stated we had herd immunity in 2020 will debate those that stated we didn’t have herd immunity till early 2021. A number of medical doctors who stated COVID wasn’t something to fret about within the first place can even chime in. That is what’s being promoted as “all sides of the COVID-19 coverage debate.”
If that weren’t sufficient doublespeak, one of many periods, Misinformation, Censorship, and Tutorial Freedom, options Dr. Scott Atlas, a celeb radiologist who suggested a President and predicted COVID would kill 10,000 Individuals. Nevertheless, regardless of this professed loathing of misinformation and censorship, I absolutely anticipate that this convention will censor its audio system’ misinformation. I hope you’ll learn current articles on the convention (Dr. David Gorski, Pandemic Accountability Index, Allison Neitzel and Walker Bragman), in addition to my articles on these audio system. I predict the quotes we’ve collected can be purposefully censored. I’m assured the convention can be an enormous train in deliberate collective amnesia and pandemic revisionism. I anticipate the plan to contaminate 250 million unvaccinated Individuals to achieve herd immunity in 3-6 months can be silenced and suppressed, although a number of audio system have been leaders of the We Need Them Contaminated motion. I predict the audio system will fantasize that they would have opened colleges, however will say nothing about how they reallylabored to intentionally infect the unvaccinated college students and academics inside them.
That’s unlucky.
Medical doctors who died of COVID have been silenced. In distinction, the convention audio system have beenloud and well-known. They suggested world leaders and have been ubiquitous within the media. They have been all over the place, besides hospitals. Within the video beneath, the previous President of america credit Dr, Atlas and different Stanford medical doctors for influencing his pondering on “herd mentality.” Not dangerous entry for “censored” medical doctors.
President Trump cites Dr. Scott Atlas and Stanford medical doctors as influencing in his pondering on “herd mentality.”
Although just a few of the audio system handled COVID sufferers, they tremendously influenced our pandemic response, and for that reason, I’ve labored diligently to protect their phrases. I don’t need them to be censored or have their voices erased. Fairly the alternative. They should have their pandemic pronouncements amplified and remembered for the remainder of their careers. These of us who labored with COVID sufferers will always remember the results.
You’re giving the introduction to the convention, that means you’re setting the tone and giving your private stamp of approval to it. I’m certain we each agree it’s necessary to have an correct account of the pandemic and to reject cancel tradition. In that spirit, I imagine you’re obligated to spice up these medical doctors voices. The attendees and most people should know what they stated and the insurance policies they pushed. The audio system declare to have been “silenced”, and you’ve got a novel alternative to treatment that injustice.
I may also help.
Whereas different medical doctors have been treating sick sufferers, these medical doctors have been in entrance of cameras. I’ve collected some clips beneath. I belief you’ll have the mental integrity to play a lot of them. Something much less, can be misinformation and censorship, betraying the purported mission of this convention and your college.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Howard
