(CNN) After months of effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus in the United States, herd immunity has emerged as a controversial topic. Atlas explicitly denied that he is pushing a herd immunity strategy, but an administration official told CNN all of the policies Atlas has pushed for are in the vein of a herd immunity strategy. "Everything he says and does points toward herd immunity," the senior administration official said. Wen told CNN's Brianna Keilar that she has "huge concerns" about a herd immunity approach and much is still unknown about how long immunity to Covid-19 might last. "If we think about herd immunity in the natural sense of just letting a virus run, it's very dangerous," she said.
