One of President Trump’s top medical advisers is urging the White House to embrace a controversial “herd immunity” strategy to combat the pandemic, which would entail allowing the coronavirus to spread through most of the population to quickly build resistance to the virus


White House coronavirus adviser Scott Atlas is urging President Donald Trump to allow the virus to spread through the country’s population in order to build “herd immunity,” and the administration has already taken steps in that direction, according to a Monday report from The Washington Post. Public health experts inside and outside the government warned the Post that a “herd immunity” strategy may prove ultimately ineffective if people who recover from COVID-19 can become reinfected. And it could result in a staggering death toll -- a Post analysis found that “it may require 2.13 million deaths to reach a 65 percent threshold of herd immunity.”

Coronaviruses along with rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, and a few other viruses ARE THE CAUSES of the common cold. There is no “herd immunity” to these viruses. What makes this quack think that herd immunity is even possible with SARS-CoV-2?

What if he’s wrong? He probably is.

This video is strewn with lies backed up by a lying unelected so called "pres."! According to Dr. Scott Atlas, there's no real concern of contracting C-19 for people under 18 or the elderly. "Young people under 18 have virtually no risk of serious illness or death". He states: "In fact, the children are not @ risk @ all & we absolutely must open the schools".
Neither this doctor or Trump are medical experts on C-19 & have no business discussing this as fact. Dr. Scott Atlas should have his medical license stripped & not allowed to ever practice again! Republicans think that they can lie & cheat their way to reelect Trump. It's no wonder some of my neighbors are going to vote for Trump! Thank goodness many of us understand the tactics being used during this election! THIS is exactly why I didn't watch the RNC & don't watch Fox News. Fox News is dishonest information & needs to be removed from the air waves! Lastly look @ the C-19 #s for Canada, New Zealand, etc. NO COUNTRY HAS AS MANY CASES AS THE US! And we should just do nothing & let it sweep over? That's what Trump does, nothing (& about police murdering citizens)! This is genocide. There's just no denying it & is this for Putin?...
