Nice that he is contributing to it personally.
"While discussing the matter more, Tillis also suggested he was a proponent of the idea of “herd immunity” as a means to combat coronavirus — another questionable belief that purports that, as more people get sick with the disease, it will become less of a concern due to the general population having developed immunities to it."

Weren't many of the Republican senators hugging one another, without masks at that, after the Barrett announcement last week?
