    Health Nerd Retweeted Dr. Angela Rasmussen

    If I had a dollar for every time someone had been wrong about herd immunity in the last 12 months, I'd be able to stop applying for grants and retire to an island paradisehttps://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/1379822583298760708 …

    And I'll just add here that this isn't the first time Dr. Gandhi has declared "herd immunity" based on declines in overall prevalence. She claimed India had reached herd immunity in February. Here's how that's going: pic.twitter.com/1XM8YfA1fj

        Well to be fair Gandhis messaging helped me convince my mom to get the AZ vaccine where other messaging made her think there was no point. She's not trying to publish a paper or convince/debate health nerd et al. Perfectly fair to point out errors but what you insinuate is bs

        I'm about to wear only a single shirt from now until forever that reads "Cross reactivity is not the same thing as cross-protection".

        Idk how can I get a speaking slot about this because I'm really fed up with repeating it and it seems like I'm doomed to repeat it so much that it's just going to be a subchapter of my thesis that no one reads

        Basing claims of herd immunity on declining levels of prevalence would lead to the conclusion that Sydney was at herd immunity before Stockholm.
