served up a series of false and misleading statements as he seeks to

ReplyDeleteLeading German Virologist: ‘COVID-19 Less Deadly Than We Thought’
German
scientist, Professor Hendrik Streeck has been studying groups of
subjects in his country and has reached a number of compelling
provisional findings regarding the viral behaviour of the new
Coronavirus.
<i><u>Streeck also explains why he thinks that draconian
lockdown’ measures were decided in haste, and may ultimately be deemed
to have been completely unnecessary.
He also presented data which
gives an indication of an “Infected Fatality Rate” (IFR), eg. the
percentage of people infected who will end up dying. New findings show a
COVID-19 infection fatality rate of between 0.24 – 0.36% (as opposed to
Neil Ferguson who claims the IFR to be just under 1%, perhaps
0.8-0.9%). Previous interviews with UnHerd, with experts like Johan
Giesecke who believes the IFR is closer to 0.1%, or one in a thousand.
