The New England Journal of Medicine editorial titled: Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted, with Anthony Fauci as co-author, has been referenced numerous times on the internet. This editorial has most recently been referenced by Dr.SHIVA Ayyadurai (11:03 PM · Jul 12, 2020 tweet attached).
Specifically the following citation is of most interest to those referencing the article:
"If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively."
Something relevant that has been overlooked is Dr. Fauci's Disclosure Statement. Amidst the declared "pandemic", and his primary role on the White House Pandemic Task Force, he claims to have no relationships/conditions/circumstances that present a potential conflict of interest.
Concerns about this submitted to the NEJM have gone unanswered. This may not be anything major, except when considering the integrity and ethics of the man that is driving the demise of the US economy and the irrational fear of the general public.
