You’re not an epidemiologist. You’re a right-wing propagandist that’s asking millions of Americans to die from #COVID19.

I hope you sleep well at night after telling every immunocompromised & high risk person in this country that their lives are disposable. https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1300466213047296000
2) For same concerns, Scott Atlas shouldn’t be espousing the same dangerous propaganda either. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1300570769542582272
3) Many other scientists agree. Don’t use Sweden has comparison or role model for “herd”. https://twitter.com/vincentrk/status/1300593057658810368
4) And saying that kids have “no serious risk” and “very safe” from #COVID19 it just UTTERLY UTTERLY batshit crazy talk. It’s an outright easily disprovable lie too. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1300564196816490498
5) We know the Swedish approach doesn’t work, and also doesn’t boost the economy either. Dozens of Swedish experts have said so too. Don’t be parroting Scott Atlas either. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1300395278659444738
7) Another 21 Swedish experts denounced “herd” policy: “The strategy has led to death, grief, & suffering—no indications that the Swedish economy has fared better. We have set an example for 🌍 on how not to deal with a deadly infectious disease.” #COVID19 https://fortune.com/2020/07/27/herd-immunity-coronavirus-covid-sweden/amp/
8) Another epidemiologist @GidMK points our that the death rate is also not that low in 20 year olds. And many keep transmitting it to high risk people. https://twitter.com/gidmk/status/1300619397610889217
9) also among kids, among those hospitalized, 1 in 3 get admitted to ICU, and 1 in 17 go on ventilators. And hospitalization also rising in kids. And even if not hospitalized, they spread to family members who are at risk. And kids can’t just quarantine without family either! https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1300564216513007616
10) Also reminder where Sweden 🇸🇪 ended up in cases and deaths versus its Nordic neighbors who didn’t chase herd w/out vaccine. Also Sweden has single payer universal healthcare. US does not. US would have it much worse on top.
