Contents

Dissenting voices
On the 7 March 2020, before widespread introduction of COVID lockdown measures, Craig Murray published Document:Momento Mori – Unpopular Thoughts on Corona Virus which referred to the "mass hysteria around the current coronavirus".
On 30 March 2020, Jonathan Sumption called the coronavirus hysteria an exaggerated threat:
- "Hysteria is infectious. We are working ourselves up into a lather in which we exaggerate the threat and stop asking ourselves whether the cure may be worse than the disease."
Worldwide specialist from the health profession are voicing their concerns about the response that the governments of their countries have taken.[1]
Germany
Prof Klaus Püschel, chief of forensic medicine for the city of Hamburg: "This virus influences our lives in a completely excessive way. It is out of all proportion to the danger posed by the virus. And the astronomical economic damage now being done is not commensurate with the danger posed by the virus. I'm convinced that the Corona mortality rate will not even be noticeable as a peak within the annual mortality." (2020-04-06)[2]
Deaths
Various people have overdosed on supposedly prophylactic drugs in an effort to prevent or treat the disease or engaged in other risky or fatal behaviour out of panic.

| Alexander Myasnikov | “It’s all bullsh*t... It’s all exaggerated. It’s an acute respiratory disease with minimal mortality. Why has the whole world been destroyed? That I don’t know.” | Alexander Myasnikov | |
| NBC | “Dr Joseph Fair appeared at least 10 times on NBC and MSNBC over the last two months to share his fight against Covid-19 with the networks’ viewers. His television appearances – including an interview from his hospital bed – fueled panic about the illness. Describing himself as a fit and healthy 42-year-old, Fair claimed in May that he had absorbed the virus through his eyes while on a flight. As it turns out, there is no reason to believe he ever contracted the virus.” | ||
| David Malcolm Nott | “This disease is so virulent, it's so dangerous and so pathogenic, it causes such high mortality... If you look at David Miliband and you look at his International Rescue Committee. He did some modelling based on the Imperial College London at WHO and in 34 fragile countries he has shown that in the next few weeks if we don't do anything, 500 million or one billion people will become infected and of that 3 million will possibly die... This is a global problem, and we're really all in our little countries dealing with the problems on our own... not our country but other countries are making huge mistakes... What we really really need is a global pandemic executive perhaps which can go to every country in this world and say look, we have learned from this pandemic. We know how to deal with it. We know what the problems are. [Led by who?] Led by David Miliband, without a shadow of a doubt. We've got somebody who is a respectful statesman, politician, had an enormous track record, and he needs to be in charge of it.” | David Malcolm Nott | May 2020 |

The difference in average life expectancy between the two groups will prove to be only very marginal. That is because the large majority of those who die of COVID-19 will already be nearing the end of life or have other health problems. |
