Trump’s Bonkers Coronavirus ‘Herd Mentality’ Claim Lights Up Twitter

President Donald Trump on Tuesday night raised the notion of Americans developing herd immunity to the coronavirus, which he referred to as a “herd mentality.”

Speaking at an ABC town hall event, Trump repeated his claim that the virus was going away.

“It’s probably gonna go away now a lot faster because of the vaccine,” he said. “It would go away without the vaccine.” 

Host George Stephanopoulos seemed incredulous by that comment.

 

“It would go away without the vaccine?” Stephanopoulos asked. 

“Sure,” Trump replied. “Over a period of time. Sure, with time.” 

“And many deaths,” Stephanopoulos said.

“You’ll develop like a herd mentality,” Trump explained. “It’s gonna be herd-developed and that’s gonna happen.”

Herd mentality is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the tendency of the people in a group to think and behave in ways that conform with others in the group rather than as individuals.”

Herd immunity is when enough people are immune to a virus that it’s no longer able to effectively spread. It can happen either from a vaccine or from so many people getting sick that the virus runs out of people to infect.

Last month, The Washington Post estimated that a herd immunity strategy without a vaccine would lead to nearly 3 million deaths in the United States. 

Twitter users were stunned by both Trump’s inability to tell the difference as well as the idea that the president may be entertaining herd immunity as a public health strategy:

Last month, The Washington Post estimated that a herd immunity strategy without a vaccine would lead to nearly 3 million deaths in the United States. 

 

And we are suppose to take the WP as a medical authority?? 

More fear mongering to prep people for the flu season. 

Next they will be trying to force people to wear a mask during flu season. 

 

Cheap, effective and no vaccine.

'A combination of FDA and TGA approved Ivermectin, Zinc and Doxycycline has shown positive results for COVID-19 and should be considered immediately to fight the pandemic' says CDD Medical Director Professor Thomas Borody

 

“An Ivermectin tablet can cost as little as $2 – which could make it by far the cheapest, safest, and fastest cure for Australians and the Australian economy," he added.

 

The therapy comprises:

1. Ivermectin - TGA and FDA approved as an anti-parasitic therapy with an established safety profile since the 1970s. Known as the “Wonder Drug” from Japan.
2. Zinc
3. Doxycycline – TGA and FDA approved tetracycline antibiotic that fights infections, such as acne, urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, periodontitis (gum disease), and others.

No excuse for anyone to get this virus. This prevents a person from contracting and spreading the virus. 

This is the kind of research and proof that is needed. Not fear mongering. 

Every nursing facility should be scheduled for this.
