Likely some little Uni named Stanford. You may have heard of it.
'Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford University, a professor by courtesy of economics at Stanford, a professor by courtesy in Stanford's Department of Health Research and Policy, a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, the director of Stanford's Center for Demography and Economics of Health and Aging, a senior fellow by courtesy at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, a research associate at Acumen LLC, and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

He researches the health and well-being of populations, with emphasis on the role of government programs, biomedical innovation, and economics.'

@BDair Well, thank you and then I wonder who else pays him, after all we do know that bribery is rife everywhere.

Who would profit from his statements and positions?

@Jolanta look this man up as he is connected with a right wing dark money group that wants the same message this professor has been spewing to become main stream. I wonder why Dair left that out of the glorious review he gave to one of the most right wing experts concerning covid. To prop this right winger up, someone felt a need to call him humble. When you have to make shit up to make someone look humble, credibility is in question. A segment of the political world is glad to pay secretly for these kind of statements.

There was nothing tyrannical about any of this, I guess.

@eCowell: well said!

" I suspect he is either a right winger or knows by saying that he will get more attention, especially in the press." A 'right wing' Stanford professor? Can you offer any evidence of this.

"Did this DR. testify in court concerning any affidavits?"
Does testifying before House of Representatives qualify?
'Testimony to U.S. House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis'
[congress.gov]

"Many lives were saved because of efforts and mandates."
This statement is patently false.
On the contrary, all of the evidence points to all of the mitigation
strategies causing more harm than good.

"Has(have) any of his claims been published in peer reviewed papers or literature?"
Yes.
'Assessing mandatory stay‐at‐home and business closure effects on the spread of COVID‐19'
[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

@BDair his opinion is his opinion, you can call sharing opinions testimony. But like I said, he is not humble. Where are his peer reviewed claims? Did any professional journals post his research?

16,067 Medical & Public Health Scientists,
and 47,541 Medical practitioners have signed
the Great Barrington Declaration.

@BDair any evidence? Calling the efforts to minimize covid tyrannical sounds right wing to me. Do you have any evidence that reasonable scientists not connected to the right wing call things tyrannical? That was to satisfy the right wing and get attention. Show me a professional who talks like that who doesn't have biased opinions. He bad mouths many people who clearly were under a lot of pressure. Humble people don't go out of their way to play that blame game. Some who agree with some of what he says are not unprofessional and do not play the blame game. When a person plays the blame game, they show a sign of arrogance and weakness in their interest in finding the truth.

@BDair you wrote "On the contrary, all of the evidence points to all of the mitigation
strategies causing more harm than good." Really? You sound just like the guy you are defending. So vaccines caused more harm than good? Lock downs caused more harm than good? Masks, washing hands and social distancing caused more harm than good?

Closing restaurants, bars, churches, small businesses, parks, schools,
stadiums, beaches etc... is tyrannical.
There was never any science to support these measures.

@BDair here's evidence he caters to the right wing. The right wing use him as their poster boy. How come almost no other expert talks as radical as him? I wonder why the republican led hearing invited him to speak? [salon.com]

"So vaccines caused more harm than good?"
Yes, they most certainly have.
They were never proven to prevent infection or transmission.
They were completely ineffective with no benefit.
They are causing unmitigated harms. Mortality rates
in vaccinated countries all rose after vaccination campaigns.

@BDair - and small shops were often shuttered whereas big box stores were allowed to remain open. Funny that, innit?

@BDair your claims are opinions. Just because you say something does not make it true. Got any facts? You say vaccines caused more harm than good. Got any facts to support that? This link says your claim is false. [poynter.org]

@BDair [science.org]

@BDair after I responded to your request to provide evidence of right wing connections I don't hear anything from you.

A rise in mortality follows the vaccine rollout, in many countries.

@BDair do you have evidence vaccines cause the rise in mortality? When disease causes a lot of deaths, the medical world sometimes uses vaccines to counter the deaths. When there are a lot of deaths, a vaccine often is developed to counter the disease. The death rate is high and after the vaccine takes affect and is used by a large % of people, the death rate goes down. When did the covid death rate begin to decline? How many months after the vaccine became available did the death rate steadily decline? The fact covid deaths are very low now and a large number have been vaccinated suggests your claim is false. If what you said was correct, how come almost no one who was vaccinated is still alive unless they died from other causes?

@BDair dark money drives a lot of people to say things that are clearly far from accurate. [exposedbycmd.org]

He is a 'highly credentialed Stanford professor'.
I thought 'military intelligence' was an oxymoron.

You just replied, very concisely, what I was about to type.

@BDair
There's a reason they tack on moron to the ass-end of oxy...
