This cannot be stressed enough. Rising “cases” amongst young & healthy ppl, without equal rise in ICU adms or deaths directly as a result of the virus, is very encouraging news: it means we are building natural community/herd immunity which will protect elderly & high-risk groups

Why is there fear re meaningless “cases”? Up to 90% false+ d/t high PCR cycle thresholds on ppl who are not infectious. Even among the small % of actual true positives: it is good news b/c ICU adms & deaths are at all-time lows. These healthy ppl are contributing to herd immunity

Can you please stop with this herd immunity garbage? What proportion of the population is seropositive at this stage in your opinion? 80%? Or below 5%? This is simply lunatic stuff. I cannot believe you are qualified as an MD.

Dear Andy, Kulvinder is correct. More importantly, it is beneath you to comment in such an uncivilized manner, tarnishing the reputation of

I'm happy that this behavior, at least, sees the public light (as long as there are people, like yourself, who show the other side). If lucky, he might have a friend who's honest enough to tell him that this is not the way to talk to people.

You’re the one that just made Harvard look bad here, because the data is pretty obvious. Ontario hospitalization and ICU numbers are rising, and not slowly. Therefore, the argument falls. If you’re so worried about the reputations of scientists, check the data first next time.

perhaps you'd care to comment about why your damaging and dangerous Great Barrington declaration was part funded by a really dirty source that funds a ton of right wing disinformation? Maybe you didn't realise? bylinetimes.com/2020/10/09/cli
