^Tucker Carlson Tonight (June 29, 2020). "Mixed messages: Corona deaths level off as cases surge". Interview with Scott Atlas. Fox News Channel. Quote: "We like the fact that there's a lot of cases in low-risk populations because that's exactly how we're going to get herd immunity—population immunity—when low-risk people with no significant problem handling this virus, which is basically 99% of people, uh, get this, they become immune and they block the pathways of connectivity to contagiousness of older, sicker people."
