Should only kill about a half to three quarters of a million Americans, most of them older and Republican. Probably a really good strategy if one is intent on ensuring President Trump loses in a massive landslide.
Me? I’m thinking effective management of the spread combined with the President’s vaccine initiative (Operation Warp Speed) is a better plan. If a safe and effective vaccine can be announced before the election (even if roll-out takes a little longer), the public will (rightly) view the President as a hero whose leadership saved many, many lives.
What an incredibly naive viewpoint. I don’t care if President Trump were to single-handeledly develop a perfect vaccine or true cure to COVID-19 - he will NEVER, EVER be given credit. NEVER>. The media is 100% anti-Trump.
We got a preview with the Hydroxychloroquine announcement. He proclaimed that it could be a “game-changer”, and it proved to be exactly that. Yet between Fauci refusing to acknowledge it (in favor of promoting a new, unproven drug that he has a significant financial stake in), and a joint effort with the media to downplay the old anti-malarial drug (and later, a WHO acceptance of a totally corrupt/fake “trial” that attacked the drug), every effort has been made to be absolutely certain Trump gets NO positive press or credit.
And that won’t change if he somehow ushers in an end to this virus. Period. And at the rate this all is going (particularly with the suggested/required “effective management” tools you are willing to endure - there won’t BE a revived economy. And people will STILL be getting sick (and a tiny portion dying).
You simply don’t understand - the Left WANTS the economy shut down. They WANT the American people to suffer - because it is in those positions of weakness, despare, fear, and uncertainty, that every Marxist revolution has been given fertile ground to grow in. You destroy the foundations, you take away the history, and you destroy people (via the economy or via health) and you get to change the game.
