"According to the Heinsberg Study in Germany"

This study and its conclusions have seen close to universal dismissal. It can't even demonstrate that it is actually detecting SARS-CoV-2 immunity (it was claiming results before anyone had even demonstrated effective tests for relevant antibodies), and not any of the many variations of coronavirus that spread during the colder months (yet which offer no immunity to SARS-CoV-2).

The claims about shopping are...unsupported and go contrary to an enormous volume of evidence (namely the high R0).

It isn't a good example of anything except that junk science has a moment to shine in a crisis.

EDIT: LOL, -2. This is the moment I delete my account and find slightly less stupid venues to participate in. Cheers.
