The @aier, the Libertarian think tank on an estate in Massachusetts that offered @MartinKulldorff @SunetraGupta and Jay Bhattacharya a comfy country retreat to write the Great Barrington Declaration clearly states the contents of same:
It advocates MAXIMIZING infection among the allegedly low-risk. https://www.aier.org/article/lockdowns-the-great-debate/. They should ask for their money back from Dr. Bhattacharya who argued today that it recommends trying to slow the spread. It advocates trying to speed it, as is clear from GBD's text.
This is just simply saying one thing when trying to influence policy and the opposite when trying to deflect criticism from scientists.
This was my first meeting with Jay Bhattacharya. @SunetraGupta and @MartinKulldorff are friends and self-described left. Had they asked I would've advised that when a climate-change-denying right-wing thinktank offers a free trip to their estate, they might be suspicious.
That is @aier, beautiful estate and no doubt good food (2:08) and great bowties.
