This expert says we should be doing herd immunity not isolation

Love this guy: “I don’t work for the govt, I can follow the science”

"We've been told to go indoors where the virus thrives." "We should be outdoors"

I'm saying find yourself another fake expert. And I'm confident that you will.

Are you even going to argue against his theory of herd immunity or are you just

Honest question

He also said multiple times Americans shouldn’t worry about this

BYU '80

4/10/20 9:16am

Sure. Seems like there is a lot you don't understand. Let's talk through it.

Game Changer

4/10/20 7:10pm

Is this guy's prediction not closer than the 2 million estimate?

bluelands

4/10/20 6:07am

He's not interested in answering that question because that means admitting we

Wait, Hold up.

Zoobieman

Where does he point out his analysis is wrong? He only pointed out

Exactly, your dude was wrong (About the death count)

Zoobieman

Does it matter? Fauci et al are constantly updating things as data becomes

Here are some problems with what you are saying.

Jingleheimer

4/10/20 11:30am

Absolutely. He's refusing to answer why the experts he trusts have predictions

This is a thoughtful response. If I may add a few comments:

I addressed this in my post above. Fauci, unlike most CBers, actually knows how

Some additonal thoughts on fake experts in academics...

Jingleheimer

4/11/20 6:56am

Great thoughts, again. I agree with most of what you're saying.

Game Changer

4/11/20 11:27am

That's fair. I guess I'd ask you how confident you are that he is wrong?

Jingleheimer

4/11/20 12:50pm

Extremely confident, for a few reasons.

Game Changer

4/11/20 6:33pm

Period...hard stop? Okay. Try this.

Jingleheimer

4/12/20 6:00am

By your theory there basically are no experts

deliciousmocha

This is a statement with legs.

johnnybyu

4/10/20 4:29am

I'm saying this particular guy is definitely not an expert. Do you think he is?

Why don't you propose who you think is an expert?

Great question.

bald man

My argument has been straightforward. It's pretty easy to understand.

I think "this guy" is smarter than you on this. Big time.

BleedCougarBlue2

4/10/20 9:23am

That’s because there are no experts

buffgato

^^^ Bingo! Now get both sides of this argument to accept that. ^^^^

Oatmeal

Sounds like his 6k deaths was closer than the “models” the leaders now abandoned

VballDad

4/10/20 8:25am

We don’t know what would have happened with his approach.

Misteak

4/10/20 8:29am

So then he’s way closer than the other experts

Still not very good about admitting you're wrong, eh? The US has cried wolf &...

Why do you hate Trump?

Zoobieman

4/10/20 5:25pm

Yeah...I've basically thought the same thing for the last few weeks.

That guy doesn’t inspire much confidence. Interviewer and poor production...

"Video seems like a fringe kid baiting a crazy old man..."

Oatmeal

4/10/20 8:00am

Video makes some good points, but the flattening ≠ widening.

Zoobieman

4/10/20 8:19am

TLDR we should stay at home during virus season forever then, not ok

VballDad

4/10/20 8:29am

I'm sorry but that was not the conclusion I wanted anyone to draw.

Zoobieman

4/10/20 1:42pm

Most projections I’ve seen still believe most will get this

BYU '80

4/10/20 9:18am

Yep. Flattening is not necessarily lowering the area under the curve.

Jingleheimer

4/10/20 10:39am

My point was that flattening the curve

There is a major problem with getting to herd immunity right now...

What do you mean by "make sure other diseases won't spread"?

Jingleheimer

people didn't stop being sick or having communicable diseases because of corona

I think you are confused about the definition of science and pseudo-science.

This guy is out of his league and seriously dangerous.
