This is not just wrong. It is fairly insane.

Trump’s new advisor, Scott Atlas, who has no infectious disease training, is pushing the herd immunity strategy which failed in Sweden. “With a population of 328M in the US, it may require 2.13 million deaths to reach a 65% threshold of herd immunity.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

It didn't fail in Sweden. Can you not do some basic fact checking yourself?

It did at first, but then… Check the facts yourself by the way.

Worked in South Dakota. According to the numbers in all states herd immunity is working.

How could you know this? The US, with its radically different strategies, is indiscernible from Sweden in deaths per million and better than many countries which locked down earlier and more severely, even when incompetencies in NY and CA are included.

Herd immunity plays right into Trump’s dangerous illusion of pretending there is not a pandemic, pretending it will just magically disappear. Meanwhile...thousands and thousands of precious lives are taken from this earth.

It is insane Ms Williamson. I mean look at all the failed predictions @Amy_Siskind has made regarding COVID and people still take her seriously. You'd have to be out of your gourd to take her opinions on this subject seriously at this point.

Sweden population 10 million - only 5+k thousand. Please do your research. Drugs and vaccines are not the answer. Follow Robert Kennedy Jr.'s work to make big pharma's drug industry accountable.

Totally agree ! Even if herd immunity worked in Sweden which it didn’t they have a fraction of our population ! Atlas needs to stick to radiology and leave infectious diseases to the infectious Disease experts!
