Parliament debate the information contained in the Great Barrington Declaration.
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The authors of the Declaration are emiment scientists and are supported to date by over 25000 fellow scientists and medical practitioners and over 280000 of the general public.
The government should not be acting solely on the advice of Prof. Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and SAGE. I believe it is wrong to dismiss the Declaration when the government should be listening to other scientific advice which is often contrary to the advice of Professor Chris Whitty which has not achieved the desired outcome.
