[Update 4/27/20: Racking up over 5 million views, the ABC affiliate’s press conference video (on their YouTube channel) of Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Martin Massihi has been removed from YouTube for violating their terms of service! (story)]
Two doctors working on the ground not only are questioning the extraordinary shelter-in-place measures being taken with the COVID-19 pandemic, but the system of counting the cases and deaths. No matter how you add them up, the numbers don’t justify the social isolation and shut downs, they say. The numbers are similar to flu — and we don’t shut down for flu.
If that weren’t enough, secondary effects that no one’s talking about will last a lifetime — child molestation, spousal abuse, alcoholism, anxiety, depression and suicide numbers are all going up. These are all real things that are spiking across the country that emergency doctors and health care providers are reporting.
Social isolation isn’t doing your immune system a bit of good, either — and these doctors explain why.
ER physicians Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care
1:40 “The hospitals, their ICUs are empty, essentially.” Except in NYC.
6:45 “…millions of cases, small amount of death.”
12:45 Sweden (no lockdown) verses Norway and California (both locked down): numbers not statistically different.
18:50 “Sheltering in place decreases your immune system.”
“Is social isolation warranted for the healthy?”
28:30 Gloves transfer bacteria all over.
“We’re [he and Dr. Massihi] not wearing masks. Why is that? We want strong immune systems. I don’t want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system….”
32:30 “If you’re young and healthy, why are you quarantining yourself? It doesn’t make any sense. You quarantine the ill.”
33:50 “When we look at people who have locked down and people who haven’t locked down — we have massive data — it is not statistically significant whether you lockdown or not. So why are we doing it?”
36:30 “The secondary effects that we went over, the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue, all of these are in our opinion a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year.”
37:00 “If you’re going to dance on someone’s Constitutional rights you better have a really good scientific reason and not just theory.”
43:20 “Big business are open; little businesses are not. There’s no science behind that.”
49:50 Why it’s better to not wear a mask and gloves if you’re healthy
00:10 They own seven facilities.
3:20 We’ve had overwhelmed systems before from the flu. Dr. Erickson has seen it personally.
4:50 “It may even be more contagious [than the flu]…, “but the actual cause of death and the disease cycle is similar to what we’ve seen from the flu. … They were screaming for ventilators. What percentage of people die on ventilators? 80-90%. … They’re screaming for 30,000 ventilators that they didn’t use. … They used 5.”
7:10 “The bottom line is, from those of us who study it and have a background in this, lockdown verses non-lockdown did not produce a statistically different number of deaths. That is the bottom line.”
7:55 “Initially, when you don’t know something you’re extra careful, because you’re fearful. … But now that we have the data….’
8:40 Most that die have co-morbidities: “heart failure, Emphysema, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupis; they’re on immunological medication; they’re immunodeficient; HIV. These are the people that are dying.”
9:40 Full names and co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care
11:15 “Who says what’s safe? Are you smart enough to know what’s safe for you, or is the government going to tell you what’s safe for you. As soon as they use the word “safe,” that means control. ‘We know what’s safe for you … They’re using this to see how much freedom can they take from you.
