I guess @MartinKulldorff of Harvard Medical School also doesn't know what he's talking about, @peterstaley? https://twitter.com/MartinKulldorff/status/1309885419694288896?s=19 …https://twitter.com/peterstaley/status/1309848922530230274 …

Fascinating. I know evidence is hard for you, but I actually replied to him a few times, starting here. And with this reply, that makes you wrong twice.https://twitter.com/peterstaley/status/1309911006169174016 …
Dear @peterstaley. Lars Erik Sander/@Sander_Lab, who you refer to, believes that there is more immunity than those with antibodies, just like @SWAtlasHoover. I expect that Fauci agrees as well. That's what makes the interview so strange.https://twitter.com/Sander_Lab/status/1309926262148915203 …

just, to clarify my POV
@SWAtlasHoover's comment was overstated and misleading. The data is not there to support claims that seropositivity represents "only a minor fraction of people with immunity" - it's unclear if T cell reactivity alone affords protecion. Let's hope it does. -
Also, available serology data (antibodies) are very robust, tens of thousands of people have been measured worldwide. T cell responses have only been measured in a few hundred people, cumulatively, w/ different tests. Too early to make estimates of frequencies in the population

This seems slightly odd. In the article here https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavirus/article244852012.html … , Fauci states that there is cross-reactivity with common coronaviruses. He doesn't say immunity, but some protection. What changed in a few weeks?

And I agree too, Martin. But Atlas said, "there is cross-immunity, highly likely from other infections, and there is also T-cell immunity. And the combination of those makes the antibodies a small fraction of the people that have immunity." There's NO EVIDENCE to back that up.

Thanks Peter. Journalist question was whether "more than 90% of the population remain susceptible to coronavirus". Glad we all agree with Atlas that it is less, as there is immunity without antibodies. How much less is impossible to know, and you are welcome to argue about that.

Dear Dr. Kulldorff, your work is very much appreciated! Alas, I am one of your vile twitter followers. I hope you take this quote to heart: "In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." — Galileo Galilei
