There is fault on both sides. Trump should have kept his mouth shut, knowing the below-average intelligence of the American people at large. https://www.bbc.com/news/52012242
And his own below-average intelligence. He had to pay people to pass his exams in school. And as he even never was smart enough to even be accepted for an education as doctor, he should not tell all that BS. In the link taht Mercor gave there was also this text:"President Donald Trump is walking back what he said during an April 23 coronavirus press briefing about using disinfectants to treat COVID-19 patients. " So he clearly told BS, and people died from following his suggestions.
Most vaccinated immunologists, virologists, infectious disease, epidemiology educated people are also strong supporters of Natural Immunity. Ask Anders Tegnell from Sweden about it...he's fully vaccinated but many refer to him as the father of Natural Immunity healthcare policies at the start of the Covid Pandemic. Simply, he understood that when Natural Immunity policies fail (e.g. excessive mortality, protecting the economy didn't work, protecting citizens' mental well-being didn't work as planned, travelers still bringing in a variant of concern)... It's time to use other tools in the box (e.g. vaccines). I'm a big supporter of Natural Immunity but I'm also fully vaccinated. Simply, in time of a Pandemic...its a grave mistake to get fixated on one solution especially when deadly mutant viruses are being born while hoping one day something less deadly will show up to infect everybody...re-energizing the Natural Immunity debate (rearview mirror healthcare). Anders Tegnell realized the above after reviewing the data...he then was fully vaccinated when vaccines became available. Yet, he still believes in the role that Natural Immunity has always played in society. Reminder...review the history of Pandemics when Natural Immunity rule the land when there were no available vaccines. 100s of millions were killed off by Pandemics. That alone tells you about the relationship between Natural Immunity and Vaccines. Seriously, without vaccines...most of us wouldn't be here today as history has shown. Only the people with the best immune systems would survive. I once saw a model in the 1990s that without vaccines...North America would have only 1/2 the population that we see today plus we would have extremely high baby death rates...children not reaching the age of 5 years old. That's a big pill to swallow if you're a parent...knowing your child has a 50% chance of reaching the age of 5 years old because just because we didn't have vaccines... I'm talking about all known diseases in combination wrecking havoc on humankind without vaccines. In fact, there has been populations, cultures wiped off the face of the planet because we didn't have vaccines at the time when their Natural Immunity wasn't strong enough... It almost killed off every Indigenous culture in North America when the colonists traveled with their diseases to what's now known today as North America. In fact, infectious diseases have always been used as a form of biological warfare and many denied populations access to vaccines so that they can weaken the population (another debate) for the purpose to conquer the population after a Pandemic. wrbtrader
We see how well natural immunity worked pre-vaccines with the elderly in nursing homes - especially in the Northeast and here in Floriduhhhh.
Historically and statistically... Natural Immunity works very well for the remainder of the population. I don't think the above sat well with the elderly considering they're in the high-risk group regardless of whether they were in a long-term care facility or living at home. While we're at it...didn't sit too well with 1/3 of the population that doesn't know they have an underlying medical condition when they think they're healthy. Didn't sit well with people of color too. Didn't sit well with multi-family dwellings and urban communities. Didn't sit well with all the fat people out there that may or may not believe in Natural Immunity. wrbtrader
