Of all the moronic takes during COVID-19, the "T-cell response means it's not dangerous" has to be one of the worst

With an OBSERVED R0 of 3, and 50% of the population immune at the outset, the 'true' R0 would be above 6 which pushes the herd immunity threshold up waaaaay higher

All of this boils down to the same fact: if the pandemic has been this bad despite 20-50% of people being immune then the immunity clearly doesn't make much difference to the population health challenges posed by COVID-19

This one kills me, and I've heard it repeatedly. They seem to think R0 is a number stamped on the surface of the virus, and since "50% aRe NaTuRAllY iMMuNe" that means we're basically at herd immunity. Nevermind that "Immune response" doesn't mean "incapable of being infected."
