Dr. Fauci did not tell the whole story on herd immunity in New York City in his back-and-forth with Sen. Paul

In what’s a sure-to-go-viral clip in the next few hours, Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci got into it over lockdowns, New York’s response to the virus and if New York City has so-called herd immunity or not:

Here’s the exchange with Sen. Paul arguing that New York’s current success battling the virus could be because of “enough community immunity” thanks to New York’s awful initial response to COVID-19 with Dr. Fauci disagreeing:

But here’s the major thing Dr. Fauci left out. . .

New York City as a whole might show that around 22% have already been infected, but if you look at it neighborhood by neighborhood, there are places that are at or close to herd immunity. From the New York Times:

Also, New York City’s positive rate might be under 1%, but, again, that’s not the story *everywhere*. In parts of Brooklyn right now, for example:

New York City is a big and complicated place and we know for a fact that the virus hit some neighborhoods much worse than others. It is certainly possible then that there is some degree of herd immunity in these hard-hit neighborhoods and that is helping to keep the infection rate low. In other parts of the city that didn’t show high infection rates during the early months, there’s no reason to believe that those places would get worse with all the measures in place.

So, Sen. Paul’s point is more than valid and it’s something that should be looked at and not just dismissed.
