What’s All This About The Great Barrington Declaration?

The White House continues to push for a herd immunity approach to dealing with COVID-19 - an effort that would cost tens of millions of lives and is not likely to be successful based on a lack of historical evidence of any virus burning itself out in a population. The dramatically titled Great Barrington Declaration authored in early October and now being touted by Scott Atlas calls for young people to return to their normal lives, become infected, and allow society to develop herd immunity over time while protecting vulnerable populations. The declaration was authored by professors from three prestigious universities including Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford, but as academics, they are a minority amongst their colleagues. Most medical experts agree that trying to achieve herd immunity is comparable to mass murder.

What’s more, their plan is a catfish. It’s a catfish for two reasons: One, it argues that we can do something that we cannot - protect vulnerable populations while the virus spreads amongst the rest of us. Two, the enticingly “normal” reality they offer a return to is not what we would actually see if we follow their plan. 


The authors of the Great Barrington Declaration argue that if we protect vulnerable populations, the rest of society can go back to normal. Protecting vulnerable populations would require isolation until the rest of society becomes immune which would probably take years if it were even likely to happen. As it stands, younger generations need to take care of their elderly parents and grandparents, and doctors need to see and treat immunocompromised patients. The degree to which these people would need to be protected while the virus spreads freely amongst society is greater than we are capable of. The best way we can protect them is by stopping the spread of the virus. When we protect ourselves, we protect those who can die from this disease. 


One of the most enticing things about a proposed return to “normalcy” is that we can all get back to our lives as they were. But stop and think for a moment. Would you really be living life as you were pre-COVID or would you still worry about getting sick and giving it to your parents? Would you see all your friends without a second thought or would concerns about the emerging long term effects of COVID give you pause? The reality that we’d “go back to” is not the reality we are expecting. The Great Barrington Declaration proposes a dangerous plan and should be considered critically for what it has to offer and for where it may be misleading.
