Nassim Nicholas TalebVerified account @nntalebUK's "herd immunity" risk-blind strategy hinges on unempirical psycholophasters' theory abt "crisis fatigue" & "nudging" BS. Assumes 1) no reinfection 2) hospitals will not be overwhelmed (w secondary deaths), 3) disease must return 4) no vaccine is coming Total IYI Lunacy.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
