This is making the usual misinformation rounds. But it's not Tokyo. It's not a random serosurvey. It's a few locations in a single company. One cluster could explain it all. If this were true for Tokyo, it could & should be replicated quickly. But misinformation thrives on speed. https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1308798932097658881 …

Japan did for real random serosurveys— including in Tokyo—early summer and found less than 1% seropositivity. These people, too, say they found 5% in June. To go from that to 50% in two months with zero outward sign is hard to imagine but okay.. Such a high number will replicate.

Scientists can have a bit of a contrarian streak. You do see them wondering what if, poking holes, questioning consensus. That's great, as long as it's anchored to evidence, systematic thinking and responsive. Clout chasing isn't independent thinking—or even contrarianism. Meh.

See this is the pity. Japan is actually a super important example to learn from. I have another article coming out on it soon. But this kind of uninformed bluster (Japan not masking hahaha) makes it difficult to have a the kind of real discussion we need. https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1309494976141762560 …
