Science vs Totalitarianism Summarised by Professor John Ioannidis

John Ioannidis is considered one of the most influential scientists alive today. He is a professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Population Health as well as a statistician and professor of biomedical data science at Stanford University. Early in the Covid pandemic he conducted a seroprevalence meta-analysis providing evidence that the infection fatality rate for Covid was much lower than governments, media and their adherents were claiming amidst the use of psychological fear tactics supported by pharmaceutical-funded fraudulent predictive modeling.

Professor Ioannidis faced swift and vicious personal attacks across mainstream media for daring to challenge the narrative of an alarmingly deadly disease. Yet the World Health Organization quietly published his findings in their bulletin, showing a general acceptance that his results were in fact correct. The results of his work are now accepted as the most accurate infection fatality rate for this unremarkable influenza-like-illness which seemed to completely replace influenza altogether for two seasons, resulting in almost no excess death anywhere throughout 2020.
