Feigl-Ding has been fearmongering since the virus hit the mainstream, including tweeting out non peer reviewed preprinted papers claiming the R0 of the disease was far higher than it is, with commentary that was sensational (“HOLY MOTHER OF GOD”) and simply wrong (claiming the R0 was 8x higher than SARS, when current estimates are that it’s similar). He’s had to walk back lots of claims and has been so irresponsible that he has been called out by fellow epidemiologists and has had an entire article written about him as an example of how misinformation spreads[0]. Take anything coming from his mouth with a huge grain of salt, even with the “Harvard” label trailing his name.
