Journalist Hounded After Pointing Out That Only Old And Sick Die From COVID
By Francesco Abbruzzino
A British journalist has been targeted by an angry online mob after pointing out that only a relatively small amount of healthy people have died from COVID, and suggesting that the complete destruction of our way of life is not an adequate response.
Talkradio host Julia Hartley-Brewer used the National Health Service’s own statistics to point out that “Just 377 healthy people under 60 have died of Covid.”
“That’s not a typo. There are no zeros missing,” Hartley-Brewer noted urging that while it is sad, it shouldn’t justify the shutdown of the economy and the house arrest of the entire country.
She further noted that pointing this out doesn’t mean she is saying “to hell with the old and sick”.
And for the hard of understanding virtual signallers, that doesn't mean "to hell with the old and sick". It means the Great Barrington Declaration was and is correct: help the millions of old & sick to shield while allowing the young & healthy (& our economy) to carry on living.

Some people just will not hear it, however, raging that Hartley-Brewer is a despicable human being:
These people are either totally disingenuous or wilfully stupid. It's hard to decide which sometimes. This one may be both. https://t.co/gvMartdvbw
