PhD Epidemiologist: Social Distancing and Lockdown Worst Way to Deal with Airborne Respiratory Virus

Professor Knut Wittkowski.

Comments by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

Today we continue to offer alternative perspectives from other scientists and medical doctors on the COVID-19 virus, and the response to it. As I have previously written, we feel it is important to give a voice to all sides of this current pandemic, especially because so much is being censored from the coporate-sponsored “mainstream” media.

Facebook just announced, for example, that they are banning any information regarding protests against the government’s response to COVID-19 that has put millions of people out of work.

This video lecture from Professor Knut Wittkowski has received over 1 million views since it was published earlier this month (April, 2020). He believes that the current approach being implemented to fight the COVID-19 outbreak is “the absolutely worst way to deal with an airborne respiratory virus,” and “that the schools be open now, so that the virus may spread harmlessly among the young, and thus shorten the amount of time the elderly and immune compromised must be sequestered.”

Perspectives on the Pandemic Episode 2: In this explosive second edition of Perspectives on the Pandemic, Professor Knut Wittkowski, for twenty years head of The Rockefeller University’s Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design, says that social distancing and lockdown is the absolutely worst way to deal with an airborne respiratory virus.

Further, he offers data to show that China and South Korea had already reached their peak number of cases when they instituted their containment measures. In other words, nature had already achieved, or nearly achieved, herd immunity.

30:10-The truth about FlattentheCurve hashtag
31:10-What should we do about sheltering in place?
32:24-Why we need to achieve natural herd immunity
34:17-Should we be testing everyone for COVID-19?
35:35-The real effects of COVID-19
38:53-The percentage of people who won’t have any symptoms
39:34-What should we do about COVID-19 at this point?
40:40-Is this really a pandemic?
40:50-What you should know

Professor Wittkowski urges that the schools be open now, so that the virus may spread harmlessly among the young, and thus shorten the amount of time the elderly and immune compromised must be sequestered. Our current course, he warns, will only prolong the crisis and likely guarantee a “second wave” of infections in the Fall.

very interesting!!! Perhaps we are all under the spell of fear, distributed through the internet. Maybe we are all hypnotized by panic.

the interviewer did an excellent job in asking the questions.

thanks for doing this

I agree totally with Professor Wittkowski and Lynne and Louise. When I studied Public Health at university, we learned about herd immunity… and the way to promote it is to allow the normal circulation of people, like children at school. Remember the chicken pox or measles "parties" we had as kids? We were going to get it so why not get it over with and we all then had immunity. Restricting children’s access to one another may prove disastrous later after this virus has mutated –which viruses do… and kids are being deprived of the education they rightfully deserve. We pay much in locat taxes to support education. Where is our tax money going now? This morning and last few weeks the local government road crew were out cleaning off the roads…few driving on them. They have jobs but what about those people who don’t ?

And why do children not get the virus, or get sick from it? This is an aspect no one has address except for the melatonin theory.

I was writing a paper on immunity babies gained from their moms and came across an article about how to dampen down this immunity so the vaccines would work !!! Natural immunity… what a concept!!! that the billionaire vaccine manufacturers don’t want the public to know about.

No vaccine is going to promote herd immunity… on the face of it and common sense tells us that this just does not happen in nature. In fact vaccines with live virus can promote the disease and spread it to others who are vulnerable. And this entire fiasco shows how miserably the flu vaccines have performed… more people die each year from the flu than will ever be affected by COVID-19…. many of those are vaccinated. But if they are mandated, as Fauci and his friend, Bill Gates, are advocating…. then it wont matter how useless they are.

I shared the transcript of this interview a few days ago on Facebook then got a notification that FB had taken it down because their “fact-checkers” determined it contained false information. It linked to an “article” from USA Today that said Dr. W’s university did not agree with him, that herd immunity was a false notion, etc. Meanwhile, the PhD at Stanford who just released data from their serum testing in Santa Clara talks about . . . Yep, herd immunity. As are many others. FB isn’t “fact-checking” – they are censoring. Zuckerberg, et al. don’t want us hearing truths or thinking for

We fully agree with Professor Knut. In addition, The testing for COVID-19 is a red herring. No reliable vaccine or testing is possible for COVID-19 infection or antibodies, because the virus has not been isolated, purified, or defined, according to David Crowe, infectious disease specialist – http://theinfectiousmyth.com/book/CoronavirusPanic.pdf. In addition, the virus is mutating, as all viruses do, which makes developing a vaccine, already loaded with toxins, difficult if not impossible.

So, the testing is a tool to drag this disaster out as long as possible, as well as a vehicle to promote vaccines, like the flu vaccine. This is nothing new to the CDC and Big Pharm, using bad testing methods to get false positives and promote drugs and vaccines. They do it with HIV/AIDS.
