Trump Appointee Pushed 'Herd Immunity' Strategy On Covid | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

79 comments

    1. That’s what vaccinations do though. We use them to infect large groups of people to accelerate immunity. This is not news.

    2. 99% of the people that they said died from covid DID NOT DIE FROM COVID! you have been lied too and you believe a lie!!

    1. To be pardoned implies their WAS a crime or wrong-doing committed. Just ask Joe Arpino. I pray for God’s swift and appropriate justice to all the elected and appointed officials and their “herd” of hypnotised and loyalist followers. New leadership and new strategy is nigh upon us. The new administration MUST make this priority one and take strong action starting the afternoon of January 20th, 2021. May God have mercy on our country.

    2. @BlueRidge Buddy A pardon doesn’t just IMPLY guilt. In order to accept a pardon, you must accept guilt as well. You cannot pardon an innocent person.

    1. @sharon olsen In the beginning thought Pence would be worse but Trump is. Hard to believe . They both are horrible however.

    2. @blue moon Oh no, you are VERY mistaken! Pence has REGULARLY informed all those around him throughout his life that God speaks to him, literally, on a regular basis. Even back when he attended a Christian college, he regularly berated the conduct of his fellow students on this basis!

    1. @Ash Roskell Hunter my son you forget to tag me I couldn’t read it until someone else tagged me man disappointed

    2. @Ash Roskell Ash is writing paragraphs on the internet 1k comments with cringy emojis keyboard warriored out why don’t you drop the keyboard and take a dive out your window and make the world a better place son

    1. @Joe_Biden funny when Trump sucked up to Putin GOP is all “if he gets along with Russia, that’s a good thing”

    2. Joe_Biden When the troll farms send us their trolls, they don’t send us their best. They send us only their subpar mess.

    1. @Nic DeGrave Or would you rather an explanation on the Hegelian Dialectic.
      Outlining exactly how they’re able to divide us so.

    2. @Henry Steel Well thank you for the care and consideration. Not everyone tailors things at our minimal cognitive level.

  1. There’s no telling how many people would have lived to get the vaccine had tRump done the right thing. It breaks my heart to think of it.

    1. Heartbreaking to all the victims and families affected by this epidemic. So many of us know how devastating this is to families who have experienced it.

    2. @American Man Sweetie, I just need you to know your comments are the saddest and most pathetic I’ve read all day. You really need to retire the MAGA hat and get with the 21st century. And if being called names “for no reason” is all it took for you to act like this you’re weak af, so maybe think of another excuse for why you’re being such a b*tch baby right now. Snowflake.

  2. Trump and all the people that side with him aswell as the people Trump has pardoned will all be going to jail soon 😀

  3. The utter lack of sense or intelligence from Trump and crew is of mammoth proportions. Epic, galactic, CRIMINAL!!

    1. @dq machine Newsmax, previously styled NewsMax, is a conservative American news and opinion website founded by Christopher Ruddy on September 16, 1998, and operated by Newsmax Media. The website is divided into four main sections: Newsmax, Newsmax Health, Newsmax Finance, and Newsmax World, each divided into various subsections. And they help Trump to spread false information. Trump often refers to them.

    2. @Sask Sun seekers yes, they love to call everyone else sheep, but, ironically, they are the ones blindly following trump like sheep.

    3. @dq machine I agree with you, but millions of people watch that crap, and they believe them, that is the worst part. It is the same crap as that other network, called OAN.

  4. brilliantly said and explained, ty everyone. t**** and his whole admin and his other minions really are just truly evil.

    1. They’ve proven from the very beginning that they’d rather sacrifice 2 million of us than actually bother to do the work required to fight this virus!

      Luckily state governors have a lot of the power to handle our response. If Trump was the one in charge of the restrictions we’d already be at 2 million dead by now!

    1. Do you not know how vaccines work? If this is your logic, then every healthcare professional should be prosecuted for crime against humanity every time they vaccinate us. This is not a revelation, because virologists/epidemiologists have saying this from the beginning. Trump’s team is actually following the current science in that regard

    2. @Kae Bae Huh? How is vaccination a “crime”?
      Vaccines work in a number of different ways, depending on the technique used, but in no case can they be called “crimes”.
      You use the phrase “Trump’s team” – who are “Trump’s team”, and how have they had ANYTHING to do with the development of these vaccine regimens?

    3. @Kae Bae I believe you misunderstand. I’m not referring to the vaccines. I’m referring to the constant lies coming out of his mouth denying a herd immunity philosophy. 300,000+ people dead later, the truth comes out. And just so you know, there is NOTHING that you can say that will ever convince me that D. Trump isn’t a swindling, lying, corrupt, con artist. I respect your right to believe what you choose. I expect that you will do the same. That’s democracy in action. Respecting each other’s right to disagree.

  5. Such an evil Loooooser……imagine the people that has lost all the people, and this guy is not doing anything about it

    1. @T. R. Campbell where are Trumfs tax returns???? Who does he owe ober 400 million dollars to???? Those are the questions to be asked!

    2. @Karen Connors I believe you are talking about Jones or something like that. I can’t remember her name. But yes she got into some trouble for being an outspoken critic of the Republican’t governor and alleging that she was told to doctor COVID data in an effort to downplay the risk of infection and death in Florida. Just another effort by Republican’ts to lie to the people and cover this up just like China

    3. @Juan Cruz Trumps tax returns are filed wherever he has a residence and where ever he does business. We have to understand it every year Donald Trump files his personal Federal and State taxes where ever his prime domicile would be. At one time that may have been New York City but he may have moved now to Florida.
      The Trump corporation also files federal as well as state taxes in every state and country in which he does business. His taxes are on file in each of these locations.
      His taxes as well as your taxes and my taxes are protected by law from public scrutiny. They contain a great deal of personal information as well as business information. I am confident that he is audited in every location that he is a double child and in every location in which he does business.
      Concerning who he owes money to, it’s really none of our business. And now that he is leaving office it still continues to be none of our business and I really could care less. Every wealthy businessman that I know of owes people money.
      What we need to be even more concerned about is our incoming administration and the fact that Hunter Biden and perhaps the entire Biden corporation is under federal tax and money laundering investigation. Watching this money involves foreign government such as Russia and China. I think we must now focus our attention on the way China is targeting the Democrat party in many of our up-and-coming members and spying on them.
      Thanks for asking.

    4. @Juan Cruz she’s just confused about the difference between inoculated herd immunity, and INFECTED herd immunity, and SURVIVOR herd immunity.

    5. @E. Infante imagine if this virus originated in the US (there is still a chance), the US had an open book test and still failed miserably.
