From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Barrington_Declaration:

"The declaration makes no mention of [...] Long Covid, which has left many fit and young people suffering from debilitating symptoms months after a mild infection.

[...]

the WHO say that the herd immunity component of the proposed strategy is undermined by the limited duration of post-infection immunity. The more likely outcome, they say, would be recurrent epidemics, as was the case with numerous infectious diseases before the advent of vaccination.

[...]

It was sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research, a libertarian think tank that is part of a Koch-funded network of organizations associated with climate change denial"

Enough said
