The collateral damage is tragic

t like other coronaviruses. But one thing that makes a big difference is that every year new people are born. They are susceptible to Covid, but for children it is a very mild disease. That is an advantage we have in fighting Covid compared to, say, measles, which is a very serious disease for children. If you look at it with a long-term perspective, if everybody gets Covid as a child, it is not going to be a major problem.

Kulldorff, clearly, is keen to speak to as many news outlets as possible, to get the message out there. Spiked, despite its controversial reputation, is one such. Why not? His interview clearly doesn't imply that he agrees with everything else that appears there.

He's also, apparently, been interviewed on the Richie Allen Show. [No, me neither.] Likewise, no reason that should mean he agrees with all their other interviewees. Well, unless you're from the Guardian. Freddie Sayers at UnHerd relates how Kulldorff received a letter from a Guardian journalist to the effect that they're planning to publish an article stating that he, Kulldorf, was interviewed on an internet radio show, the Richie Allen Show, which had previously hosted antisemites and Holocaust deniers, and would Kulldorf care to comment. In other words, a smear job.

Well, it's certainly easier than actually dealing with Kulldorf's arguments.

And it's especially rich coming from the Guardian, with its dubious record of hosting antisemites.

    ‘ We sought to flatten the curve in the spring so as not to overload hospitals, and that succeeded in almost every country..’
    Except it did not succeed. The death curve… which must mirror the hospitalised case curve… showed exponential rise, peak, then slow decline. This happened in all Countries irrespective of when lockdown was introduced and in the case of Sweden where there was no lockdown.
    Why hospitals were not overwhelmed was because there just weren’t the number of cases that the computers had predicted.
