(42,770 posts)which misquoted with trump acting "unwillingly." It is purported that it was the public who were unwilling participants in trump's goal to strive for herd immunity.
It's a very interesting claim I hadn't really thought about. That once trump knew the virus was deadly and airborne, he chose two options...get a vaccine quickly and encourage/hope for herd immunity. The latter makes sense. What better way to strive for herd immunity than to do everything you could to ensure people got it versus didn't get it. Keep holding mass super spreader rallies. Mock those who wore masks. Don't wear a mask yourself. Call it a hoax.
As many have pointed out this case may not go anywhere. Despite this, it's underlying rationale for his actions actually make sense.
What he absolutely did not chose was to protect the public. Guess he must have thrown this idea out. Because it would hurt the economy which is a reflection on him and his ego?
