Jay Bhattacharya, May 24, 2020 "If it’s true that the novel coronavirus would kill millions without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines, then the extraordinary measures being carried out in cities and states around the country are surely justified. But there’s little evidence to confirm that premise—and projections of the death toll could plausibly be orders of magnitude too high." https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-the-coronavirus-as-deadly-as-they-say-11585088464

Here’s what you wrote:
I have to quote you due to your history of editing your comments after I destroy them.
Try to comprehend this line, especially:
Your supposed slam dunk debunk of this is to quote the current death toll.
This is a low intelligence response.
Quote the initial global death toll projections from May, 2020 and then the actual death toll. If the initial death toll is not orders of magnitude too high, then you have a slam dunk.
And I anticipate that you will claim that the projections were halted due in part to lockdowns. Sure, but this still doesn’t debunk The Great Barrington Declaration that holds the position that lockdowns for more harm than good.
Basically, this post is complete nonsense and is a biased opinion of a pro-lockdown extremist.
Just to inform you ScoobyDoo, you are debating with a brain dead sack of shit idiot.
I claimed the vaccine was 95% effective. I am that much of an IDIOT.
I know that natural immunity was 99.99% effective but I am so fat, so dumb and so old, I went ahead and injected myself with an experimental bio weapon made by Big Pharma.
Now I’m spending my last days on earth, defending Big Pharma. To my death.
I’m also choosing to spend my last days, denying facts that hurt my feeling as a fat old boomer. Yes I am old. I am obese. And that is why I am terrified of a 99.99% survival flu.
Anyone who points this out is a threat to my democracy and needs to be reported to authorities. YOU ARE NOW REPORTED TO AUTHORITIES SCOOBYDOO
You seem to be having trouble with the fact that the expert saw no evidence that the virus would kill millions, and based on that he went on in the Barrington Declaration. to criticize the response of the public health authorities.
Then the virus killed millions.
AND he acknowledged that if the virus was to kill millions "then the extraordinary measures being carried out in cities and states around the country are surely justified."
What's your problem?
Hahaha! Classic. This whole entire post was based on a misunderstanding of basic English on your part. Classic Tuchodi, especially since you’ve been criticizing other people’s English lately.
I have to quote you once again, lest you edit this:
What you quoted doesn’t mean what you think it means. Read it again, carefully. If you still can’t figure it out, ask your mom.
Sure does. Surprised you can't see it.
Buddy agreed the measures would be correct if millions were dying.
And millions died.
Your mom couldn’t help you, eh?
I’ll help. I’ll rephrase the quote you posted with fewer words:
If early death projections were accurate, lockdowns would be justified. Death projections were over-estimated, so lockdowns were not justified.
