Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDr. Jay Bhattachary from Stanford is advocating end the lockdowns, and just give
the vaccine to only the older population, and those at higher risk, making the argument only for those who are not elderly and without at higher risk.
They believe the lock down is much worse than Covid in this population, and believe herd immunity would be achieved with only vaccinating this older population, letting the younger population live their lives "normally"

A number of scientists pointed out the declaration ignores increasing evidence of younger people suffering long term effects of covid, "long haulers"
It should also be pointed out that his specialty is clinical outcomes as it relates to economics

He is a bean counter

It should be noted that this physician specialty puts emphasis on economic outcomes.
It looks to me like he is a bean counter, and his primary concern is economics

(29,199 posts)if you have a family then we will give the vaccine to all family members over 65 and the rest of you get a massive dose of the virus.
8 weeks later we will check on the result of the experiment.
Then you can have an opinion.

People like this do tarnish the universities they come from
It seems that perhaps that medical institutions need to be offering more courses in ethics

This clown.
Scott Atlas.
The administrators who decided to give the vaccine to administrators first at the medical center, NOT doctors and nurses.
Oh, yeah, and Elizabeth Holmes, reaching back a bit further in time.

No surprise that he is pushing this in the WSJ, and on fox
That he decides to push this now with what is happening here in California is outrageous, and highlights that more course work in ethics need to be taught
