BREAKING: Senior White House Official Tells CNN All Americans Will Get COVID-19; White House Position That Pandemic Mitigation Is Over and "Herd Immunity" Is Now Policy Is Consistent With Prior Reporting on Trump& #39;s Preference; Experts Say a "Herd Immunity" Plan Will Kill Millions https://twitter.com/joshscampbell/status/1299203202328354816">https://twitter.com/joshscamp...
SOURCE: Trump has been privately telling aides he wants a "herd immunity" plan since April—with media reports detailing Trump demanding such a course of action in White House meetings. It appears the president has now—at least unofficially—gotten his wish. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-considered-allowing-the-coronavirus-to-wash-over-the-us-2020-4">https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-con...
SOURCE2: There are just too many major-media sources on this issue to cite all of them—but if you Google "wash over" you will find that in spring 2020 Donald Trump was privately pushing for a pandemic response that assumed all Americans would get infected. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-asked-fauci-why-health-officials-couldnt-simply-let-coronavirus-wash-over-the-country-report-says">https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-ask...
PS: This was a senior White House official—on the record—speaking to CNN during the Republican National Convention on the topic of the Trump administration& #39;s pandemic response policies/tactics. There& #39;s no way to take this but as the White House adopting a "herd immunity" plan.
PS2: Again, the White House& #39;s "herd immunity" plan means that *millions* of Americans will die—at least 2.5 million, according to medical experts, by the end of the pandemic. Remember that Trump has repeatedly touted himself as having *saved* America from that kind of death toll.
