WHO Deletes Misleading Tweet That Spread Paranoia About COVID-19 Reinfection

But they still have their tweet up from January saying there’s no evidence that the virus can be transmitted from human to human. – Dan Bongino.

Reason:

This weekend the World Health Organization (WHO) had to delete a misleading tweet about the coronavirus. Unfortunately, several media outlets had already cited it, spreading unwarranted fear about the likelihood of secondary COVID-19 infections.

On Friday, the WHO published a scientific brief on “immunity passports“—the idea that governments should grant special documents to citizens who test positive for COVID-19 antibodies, allowing them to move about freely. The WHO warned that this is premature, since “no study has evaluated whether the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 confers immunity to subsequent infection by this virus in humans.”

The WHO is correct that scientists have not determined the degree of immunity enjoyed by COVID-19 survivors. But the tweet version of the brief was missing important context, and it said only this: “There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from #COVID19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection.”

That’s technically true: There’s no evidence of immunity. But that’s because COVID-19 is new and the matter hasn’t been conclusively studied yet. Scientists have good reason to expect COVID-19 survivors to have some immunity to the virus, though they’re unsure how strong it will be or how long it will last. more

  2. A human gets the creeping crud, you know, like some of kind aerial bourne, or mucous mixing, snot, blobs, shit, and 100 other things, stuff — and yet can’t pass that on to some other booger eater, fellow traveler, shit eater, eye-touching mofo?

    That don’t make no fucking sense.
