STOP to: terror, madness, manipulation, dictatorship, lies and  the biggest health scam of the 21th century 

We, health professionals, across several countries in the world:
 We say : STOP to all crazy and disproportionate measures that have been taken  since the beginning to fight SARS-CoV-2 (lockdown, blocking the economy and  education, social distancing, wearing of masks for all, etc.) because they are totally  unjustified, are not based on any scientific evidence and violate the basic principles of evidence-based medicine. However, we of course support reasonable measures such as recommendations of washing hands, sneezing or coughing in elbow, using a  disposable tissue, etc.
It is not the first time that humanity faces a new virus : it experienced H2N2 in 1957,  H3N2 in 1968, SARS-CoV in 2003, H5N1 in 2004, H1N1 in 2009, MERS-CoV in  2012 and faces the seasonal flu virus every year. However, none of the measures  taken for SARS-CoV-2 has been taken for these viruses. We are told :  –“But, SARS-CoV-2 is very contagious” and we answer : IT’S ABSOLUTELY FALSE.  This claim is, moreover, rejected by internationally renowned experts1. A simple  comparison with the other viruses shows that the contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2 is  moderate2,3. It’s diseases like measles that can be described as very contagious. For  example, a person with measles can infect up to 20 people while a person infected  with this coronavirus only contaminates 2 or 3, that is : 10 times less than measles.  –“But, it is a new virus” and we answer : H1N1 and the other viruses that we  mentioned were also new viruses. Yet : we did not put countries into lockdown, we  did not block the global economy, we did not paralyze the education system, we did  not social distancing and we did not tell the healthy people to wear masks. In  addition, some experts say that it is possible that this virus was already circulating  before but we did not realize it4.
–“But, we don’t have a vaccine” and we answer : at the start of H1N1, we also had no vaccine, as at the time of SARS-CoV. Yet : we did not put countries into lockdown,  we did not block the global economy, we did not paralyze the education system, we  did not social distancing and we did not tell the healthy people to wear masks.  –“But, this virus is much more deadly” and we answer : IT’S ABSOLUTELY FALSE.  Because, compared to the flu for example, and if we take into account the period  between 01 November and 31 March, there was worldwide -when those measures  have been taken- : 860,000 cases and 40,000 deaths while the flu in the same  period of 5 months infects, on average 420 million people and kills 270,000. In  addition, the case fatality rate announced by the WHO (3,4%) was greatly  overestimated and was rejected from the beginning by eminent experts in  epidemiology5. But even if we take this case fatality rate, we can see that this  coronavirus is three times less lethal than that of 2003 (10%) and ten times less  lethal than that of 2012 (35%).
–“But, COVID-19 is a serious illness” and we answer : IT’S ABSOLUTELY FALSE.  SARS-CoV-2 is a benign virus for the general population as it causes 85% of benign  forms, 99% of those infected recover, it does not constitute a danger for pregnant  women and children (unlike the flu), it spreads less faster than the flu6 and 90% of  those who die are elderly people (who must, of course, be protected like other  populations at risk). This is why experts have called “delirium” the claim that it is a  serious illness and said, on August 19, that “it is not worse than the flu” 7.  –“But, there are asymptomatic people” and we answer : 77% of infected people are  asymptomatic in influenza too and they can also transmit the virus8. Yet : healthy  people are not told every year to wear masks and no social distancing is done  despite the fact that the flu infects 1 billion people and kills 650,000.  –“But, this virus leads to saturation of hospitals” and we answer : IT’S ABSOLUTELY  FALSE. Saturation affects only a few hospitals, but people are made to believe that  the entire hospital system is saturated or that saturation is imminent when there are  thousands of hospitals in certain countries. Is it reasonable and true to attribute, for  example, to 1,000 or 2,000 hospitals a situation which concerns only 4 or 5 hospitals?
Furthermore, it is not surprising that some hospitals were saturated  because they were situated in clusters (like Lombardy in Italy or New York in the  USA). It should not be forgotten that hospitals in many countries have been overwhelmed (including intensive care units) during previous influenza epidemics9 and at the time, we were even talking about : “tsunami” of patients in hospitals, “saturated hospitals”, tents erected outside the hospitals, “war zones”, “collapsed  hospitals” and a “state of emergency”. And yet : we did not put countries into  lockdown, we did not block the global economy, we did not paralyze the education  system, we did not social distancing and we did not tell the healthy people to wear  masks.   
2. We say : STOP to these crazy measures also because of their catastrophic  consequences that have already started to appear : suicide of people as it was reported in China, development of psychiatric disorders, paralysis of the educational path of pupils and students at the university, negative impacts and dangers on  animals, neglecting other diseases (especially chronic) and an increase in their  mortality, domestic violence, economic losses, unemployment, major economic crisis (few people know that the economic crisis of 2007-2008 has caused the suicide of at  least 13,000 people in Europe and North America), serious consequences on  agriculture, destabilization of countries and social peace, risk of wars. An editorial5 published in the European Journal Of Clinical Investigation has denounced, from the  beginning, the harms of: non‐evidence‐based extreme measures, exaggerated  information on the real danger of the virus and the fake news spread (even by major  journals). Some have even compared this pandemic to that of the 1918 influenza, which is a LIE and a manipulation since it killed 50 million people, which has  absolutely nothing to do with the death toll of this coronavirus.
