Be careful for what you ask.
The US Surgeon General asked for examples of COVID misinformation, no doubt to pass it on to the new 1984-esque Disinformation Board.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Tokita, along with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine; and Dr. Kulldorff, Senior Research Fellow at the Brownstone Institute and former Professor at Harvard University School of Medicine, responded with a laundry list of misinformation pushed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Here’s the list:
- Overcounting COVID-19
- Questioning Natural Immunity
- COVID-19 Vaccines Prevent Transmission
- School Closures Were Effective and Costless
- Everyone is equally at risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 infection
- There was no reasonable policy alternative to lockdowns
- Mask mandates are effective in reducing the spread of viral infectious diseases
- Mass testing of asymptomatic individuals and contact tracing of positive cases is effective in reducing disease spread
- The eradication of COVID-19 is a feasible goal
I would add the criminal notion that Ivermectin is dangerous and ineffective against COVID.
