White House Task Force member calls report about herd immunity “irresponsible”

White House Coronavirus Task Force member, Dr. Scott Atlas, responded to a report by the Washington Post on Monday claiming he is a proponent of a controversial herd immunity strategy to combat Covid-19. The strategy would allow for the virus to spread through the US population in order to develop a resistance to it.
Atlas has explicitly denied that he is pushing a herd immunity strategy, but an administration official said all of the policies Atlas has pushed for are in the vein of a herd immunity strategy.
Atlas has rejected the need for widespread community testing, arguing that the administration should focus almost exclusively on protecting and testing elderly populations while pushing for the rest of the economy to return to normal, this official said.
"Everything he says and does points toward herd immunity," the senior administration official said.
CNN has reported that several of the health professionals on the White House Coronavirus Task Force raised questions about Atlas, asking each other who he was and what his role would be. Atlas joined the task force earlier this month as an adviser.

The strategy would allow for the virus to spread through the US population in order to develop a resistance to it.
Some background: Herd immunity is reached when 70% to 90% of a population becomes immune to a disease either through infection and recovery or vaccination. When that happens, the disease is less likely to spread to people who aren't immune because there just aren't enough infectious carriers to reach them. The Washington Post article claimed Atlas was the chief proponent of the herd immunity strategy.

ER doctor says 2 million Americans could die in effort to achieve Covid-19 herd immunity
From CNN's Lauren Mascarenhas, Faith Karimi and Jay Croft
Emergency physician and CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen said Monday that 2 million Americans could die in the effort to achieve herd immunity to coronavirus.
“If we're waiting until 60% to 80% of people have it, we're talking about 200 million plus Americans getting this,” Wen told CNN’s Brianna Keilar Monday.
“At a fatality rate of 1%, let’s say … that's 2 million Americans who will die in this effort to try to get herd immunity. Those are preventable deaths of our loved ones that we can just not let happen under our watch,” Wen said.
Wen added that much is still unknown about how long immunity to Covid-19 could last.
Remember: Herd immunity is reached when a majority of a population becomes immune to a disease either through infection and recovery or vaccination.
When that happens, the disease is less likely to spread to people who aren't immune because there just aren't enough infectious carriers to reach them.
Earlier this month, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also explained the risks of herd immunity during a live Instagram session.
"If everyone contracted it, even with the relatively high percentage of people without symptoms ... a lot of people are going to die," Fauci said.
