On to GBD itself...and I must be brief, you could write an essay.

2. Vulnerable people have just as much right to a life as anyone else & already put up with too much.

4. We're all one Doctor's appointment away from "vulnerable"
5. The invulnerable...aren't.
6. Individual risk scales by prevalence. Don't quote %s at me, you utter plonkers🤦♀️
8. Controlled infection of a population is a laughable concept.
OK, that's logistics, now biology.
10. "Natural" immunity vs infection is NOT long-lasting due to waning and viral variation. Hence, you will NEVER reach a H.I. threshold without a vaccine vs an invariant target that induces mucosal as well as systemic immunity.
11. Not everyone seroconverts.
Lockdown is an extreme measure, and we ought to have only had one.
Problem is, somebody thought pizza and GBD-like alternatives to SAGE advice was more important back in Autumn 2020...BEFORE VAX.
