You may not agree with him. He may be overly optimistic and even wrong. But, if your point is that he essentially needs to be constantly screaming “We’re all gonna die!!“, so that the people who aren’t as smart as you will behave as you believe they should, I respectfully disagree.
If you believe he was serious, perhaps you can explain the serious point he was making when he said: “This is going to go away without a vaccine, it’s gonna go away, and we’re not going to see it again, hopefully, after a period of time.” Does he have special knowledge that immunity lasts long enough to reach her immunity without vaccines or is he making stuff up with no basis? It doesn't matter that he may have said other things that aren't crazy. Even that part about vaccine being "helpful" is angled to downplay its importance.
