Michael Levitt

There is no doubt in my mind that when we come to look back on this, the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives by a huge factor.

Professor Michael Levitt, as quoted in “Nobel prize-winning scientist: the Covid-19 epidemic was never exponential,” by Freddie Sayers, May 2, 2020. Levitt is Professor of Structural Biology at the Stanford School of Medicine and winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Levitt also said that “I think the policy of herd immunity is the right policy. I think Britain was on exactly the right track before they were fed wrong numbers. And they made a huge mistake.”
