COUNTERPUNCH, MAY 22, 2020
On April 21, Fox News’s Laura Ingraham, one of Donald Trump’s most vociferous supporters, spoke to Stanford University physician-professor John Ioannidis about COVID-19. She prefaced the interview with reference to the pandemic as a nothing-burger:
And new antibodies testing on the West and East Coast shows that the true infection rate may be 55 times higher than previously thought by the, quote, “experts.” Meaning, the true fatality of the virus is somewhere below that of seasonal influenza.
As an architect of the testing, he concurred. He said that all of the “evidence points to an infection that is very common, that typically is very mild.”
Absolutely right.
