Many people have called into question whether we are taking the correct measures to combat the spread of Coronavirus. The two men in the picture below are doctors who have been outspoken from the beginning against the “shelter in place” policy the nation has adopted. They say that staying inside and reducing our contact with other people and the outside world, we are hurting our immune systems, which we desperately need to be at full functionality during this time. They say that by interacting with the world we expose ourselves to bacteria. The more we expose ourselves, the greater our body’s defenses become to outside invaders. The nation’s overall immune system health right now is at an all-time low because we are all isolating ourselves ad our immune systems are becoming weaker as a result. The doctors in this video predict that when we reopen, we will see an influx of disease like we’ve never seen before, and propose that rather than sheltering in place, we allow the demographic that is not at risk (anyone under 80 without a preexisting condition) to go back to work and continue business as usual, while those who are at risk remain to shelter in place in addition to anyone else that still feels threatened.
To me, this seems like a pretty reasonable course of action, and I appreciate the doctors, at the very least, for providing their insight and expertise on this issue. However, Youtube and the media overall quickly moved to censor these doctors, not letting anybody view their arguments and opinions on the Youtube platform and on all other major media platforms I searched. Instead, all you can find on the internet is videos of people discrediting or “debunking” these doctor’s claims. I am no doctor, so for all I know, what those two doctors said could be wrong. The problem I have is when I am being told how bad these guys are, yet I can’t find the original video of them making their arguments. It’s like I am being told I should feel a certain way toward these guys, yet I can’t find evidence to support my own dislike for them. The lesson in all of this? The media wants to tell you how you should think, not provide you with the facts and let you decide what to think for yourself.
