StuHOST
Yeah, I think that happens all the time.
StuHOST
Uh, there was a whole-- During COVID, there was the whole Barrington Declaration where, like, [laughs] a whole bunch of doctors said, "Hey, quit doing lockdowns and quit, uh, quit doing all the policies that you're doing." And they were shoved into a corner and called, um, I don't know, out of touch or crazy or deniers or whatever they, whatever they were labeled as in order to shut them up.
Riley O'BillHOST
And they weren't allowed to say anything about their opinions on social media, as I recall.
StuHOST
Well, that's right.
Elizabeth EvansGUEST
And we were like, oh, no, because we wanted to do our first battle with the masks and the testing.
Elizabeth EvansGUEST
And we were like, because at that point, nobody was speaking out against the vaccines or not sort of even the Great Barrington Declaration.
Elizabeth EvansGUEST
They didn't mention that they were talking about the lockdown restrictions.
Elizabeth EvansGUEST
And then we were like, well, We're going to have to, we're just going to have to be really unpopular.
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
So I was raging against this stuff.
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
You know, I, uh, finally we had the opportunity to, uh, put, put together the Great Barrington Declaration.
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
Uh, we snuck that into the public mind in some sneaky way.
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
It made a, a big difference.
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
Of course, you know, we're, we're, we're, we're trashed as being an anti-vax organization and so on.
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
But it took me a long time to come around to, um...
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
And, and the other thing that happened to me is I realized two years after the Great Barrington Declaration why the document outraged, uh, the pandemic planners so much.
Jeffrey TuckerGUEST
And it wasn't because they were advocating for civil liberties or old-fashioned public health measures or focused protection or anything like that.
Jonathan HowardHOST
So this clip that I'm going to play is from October 2020.
Jonathan HowardHOST
It was at the signing of the Great Barrington Declaration.
Jonathan HowardHOST
And again, this was the most pivotal moment of the pandemic.
Jonathan HowardHOST
It was the best of times.
Peter NavarroGUEST
I fought him on the lockdown, Bill.
Peter NavarroGUEST
I was telling people, I, I remember in October they had the Barrington Declaration which said, "Hey, lockdown's bad.
Peter NavarroGUEST
We should, uh, just do herd immunity." I was talking about that, like, in April and May.
Peter NavarroGUEST
I, I, I, b- based on my economic training, I said, "Look, that lockdown is gonna kill more people than the vaccine itself because, uh, of, of all of the things that'll happen." People not getting tests for cancer or other kinds of diseases, the depression, the alcoholism, and all of that.
Jason GoldmanGUEST
had no patient care experience, no real world experience with vaccines, and had made statements trying to undermine the entire vaccine science.
Jason GoldmanGUEST
The chair that they appointed wasn't a physician and had written the part of the Great Barrington Declaration that he believed you should just let COVID infect everyone to achieve herd immunity, which from a physician standpoint is ludicrous to let people deliberately get sick in order to generate immunity, notwithstanding all of the potential disease complications that can occur from getting an infection.
Jason GoldmanGUEST
That's like saying, well, let's just let the car accident happen and enough people can die off.
Jason GoldmanGUEST
We'll have less people driving on the road.
Christian ParentiGUEST
This is like this stuff that like doesn't really, you know, hold up to scrutiny.
Christian ParentiGUEST
Rational people like the Great Barrington Declaration, they advocated focused protection, protecting the most vulnerable, but letting those who are not particularly vulnerable to the disease get the disease.
Christian ParentiGUEST
And this wasn't discussed in any serious way.
Christian ParentiGUEST
This was censored and attacked and pilloried.
Christian ParentiGUEST
They didn't even have cell phones.
Christian ParentiGUEST
I'm just like, that is just such a dereliction of duty.
Christian ParentiGUEST
And the Great Barrington Declaration isn't some crazy, hateful things, which is what it was portrayed as.
Christian ParentiGUEST
But they're saying, no, no, let's protect the most vulnerable, but not damage all these other parts of society.
Greg BradyHOST
Is that a wide line or is that a narrow line? Because I worry if it's not peer-reviewed, that's all we wanted during COVID as well.
Greg BradyHOST
Has this been peer-reviewed? What's working in other countries that maybe we haven't thought of here? You know the Great Barrington Declaration was something that was, you know, people lifted their leg and basically peed on it.
Greg BradyHOST
And I'm like, Wait a minute, that does make sense to protect the most vulnerable and let a healthy 18-year-old, let's say, go to university and live in residence without three shots.
Greg BradyHOST
I think there's a real wide line between what might be a really legitimate injury and a medical grievance, but also a lot of the conspiracy stuff.
Peter McCulloughGUEST
Those principles always should have been applied.
Peter McCulloughGUEST
In October of 2020, in addition to the McCullough Protocol getting endorsed by AAPS, another important document was published, and that was the Great Barrington Declaration, which said, listen, risk stratification looks really solid.
Peter McCulloughGUEST
We've got nine months of experience now with this pandemic.
Peter McCulloughGUEST
We only need to take special protections for our seniors, for people at high risk and congregate living.
Peter NavarroGUEST
I mean, for example, the lockdown.
Peter NavarroGUEST
Um, the Great Barrington Declaration, which you covered well, that was in October.
Stephen K. BannonHOST
We're the only ones covering it.
Peter NavarroGUEST
That was in October.
