No fewer than 6,700 doctors and scientists have, as of Wednesday, appended their signatures to a declaration chiding governments and COVID-19 policy-makers for draconian strategies adopted in handling the pandemic.
The Herald can report that the Physicians’ declaration was the product of a Global Covid Summit in Rome, Italy where a group of physicians and scientists met earlier this month to speak “truth to power about Covid pandemic research and treatment.”
Some of the notable physicians that have signed the declaration are Dr. Ira Bernstein, co-founder, Canadian Covid Care Alliance; lecturer, Dept. of Family and Community Medicine, University of Toronto; Dr. Paul E. Alexander, clinical epidemiologist, former WHO-PAHO and US HHS consultant/senior Covid Pandemic advisor; Dr. Pierre Kory, critical care and pulmonary medicine specialist, former Chief of Critical Care Service and Medical Director of Trauma and Life Support Center at University of Wisconsin, and Dr. Marc G. Wathelet, molecular biologist, innate immunology and coronavirus expert, consultant, Belgium.
Others are Dr. Tess Lawrie, Director, The Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy Ltd; founder, British Ivermectin Recommendation Development; CEO of non-profit Ebmcsquared CiC; Dr. Héctor Carvallo, former professor of Internal Medicine, Universidad de Buenos Aires, former Director Ezeiza Hospital, Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Dr. Mobeen Syed, physician, computer scientist, CEO of DrBeen Corp (US), clinical consultant (Pakistan).
In an open letter, they accused the authorities of preventing physicians from providing life-saving treatments for patients and silencing scientific debate.
