“IF there had been no intervention, the epidemic would have been over” by now in the United States, says Professor Knut Wittkowski, for twenty years head of The Rockefeller University’s Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design.

The elderly should have avoided social contact and stayed home, he says, but the rest of the population should have gone about their business. That way, what is called “herd immunity” would have been achieved more quickly.

Universal social distancing is an unscientific and harmful practice.

It is a medical superstition promoted by powerful political forces.

It has brought untold financial and psychological harm to America. It will leave shuttered businesses, suicide, alcoholism, despair and marital breakdown in its wake. It has enabled extreme financial plunder. It has left millions of people in circumstances of dire isolation and left many others demoralized and confused. The fact that some have undoubtedly enjoyed the break from routine and the chance to spend more time with their families does not offset its many negative consequences for the vulnerable.

Update: States that didn’t shut down their economies have lower death rates from corona than states that did. Is there any better proof that at the very least social distancing was not necessary?
