COVID-19: The Great Barrington Declaration is indeed Great!

Except for the reliance on built up immunity. There is no actual evidence of any immunity being built up by anyone who has "recovered". So to throw society in the direction of non-existent herd immunity would be genocide.
So far any immunity has shown to last only a few months and that is only relevant to the same strain suffered upon first infection. Nations do not have the intensive care facilities to cope with the numbers of patients that would result from this strategy. Even if most of them survive, there is evidence of long term lung damage, brain damage and heart problems resulting from infection by covid. But I guess that's OK as long as capitalism is kept alive.

Yih and Kulldorff’s “Radical” Covid StrategyA RECIPE FOR DISASTERSeptember 24, 2020 In a recent Jacobin interview entitled “We Need a Radically Different Approach to the Pandemic and Our Economy as a Whole,” ecologist and epidemiologist Katherine Yih and professor of medicine Martin Kulldorff, both at Harvard Medical School, offered neither. Instead, their “radical strategy” for both boils down to putting less vulnerable groups back to work and building up natural herd immunity through exposure to Sars CoV-2. This is of course not far off from what elements of the Trump or Johnson administrations advocate, and which – contrary to Kulldorff – failed in Sweden, at least from the perspective of keeping people alive. full:
