During my interview with Tony Fauci yesterday, I asked him about Scott Atlas's @SWAtlasHoover attempted takedown of @CDCDirector Redfield re how many Americans are still susceptible to #COVID19. Here's my question. /1

Needless to say, beyond those already previously infected, we have no evidence of widespread immunity via cross-immunity or CD4 cells. Atlas doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. A neuroradiologist shouldn't pretend he's an immunologist. /end https://www.instagram.com/tv/CFlEMt8Kg2B/?igshid=168osghuko3uw …

I have yet to see Fauci contradict the statement with reason and data. This is disappointing, and not how science works.

If you say "2+2=5" and, when asked by someone else, I say "No, 2+2=4," am I "attempting to take you down" or simply reciting a fact? The response Atlas gave was clearly correct. And he shouldn't be expected, of course, to defend erroneous statements made by Redfield or Fauci.
