Surprise! Surprise! The doctor making these claims is "fellow" at the conservative think tank @HooverInst. He's merely speculating, pulling nonsense out of his nether regions, and presents zero evidence to support his contention that California has developed herd immunity.

I absolutely didn't mean to give credence to that nonsense but I do see where I may have inadvertently done that. I have heard from several public health officials that the disease MAY have been here earlier - but I do NOT, whatsoever, agree with Hansen's claims.

We need to be very clear to say exactly that and be concrete. Being wish-washy out of a sense of fairness is portrayed as either agreement or conceding that the crackpot might have a point.

I tried to make it clear on the interview...Ro of ~2-3 would mean herd immunity is found at 50-60%. That's literally impossible to have achieved in Fall 2019.

Right wing propagandists like
@IngrahamAngle are sharing your interview to support the idea that herd immunity could be the reason for the lower case count in California. That’s why we have to be very careful and clear when addressing disinformation. - Show replies
