There's a Reason Why Trump Keeps Telling Voters He's Immune to COVID-19
American Thinker ^ | 10/29/2020 | Michael Zey

Posted on 10/29/2020 6:14:55 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Early in the final debate, President Trump made a comment, almost an aside, about his personal battle with COVID-19 that the media have largely ignored but that could have considerable impact on the election results.

"I got better very fast," Trump said, "and now they say I'm immune.  Whether it's four months or a lifetime, nobody's been able to say that, but I'm immune."

The next night at a rally at The Villages, a Florida retirement community, Trump reiterated his claim that his medical team has declared him immune to COVID.  From that day on, Trump has repeated this message to rally audiences in North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Nebraska and to the millions of voters watching the rallies nationally.

"But the fact is, I had it.  It worked out well.  Now I'm immune," Trump declared to an Ohio audience.

At rally after rally, amid seemingly innocuous personal anecdotes about his recovery from the disease, Trump weaves an unspoken message that subtly undermines his opponent even without directly mentioning him: President Trump is immune to COVID-19, and Joe Biden is not.

In the final days of the campaign, Trump is prodding voters to ask themselves a question: which candidate do you believe has the best chance of surviving COVID-19 should he contract this pernicious virus during his presidency?

The answer can favor only Trump.  Recently, Trump was successfully treated for the disease at Walter Reed Hospital over a 72-hour period with innovative drugs and technologies.  Within a week, doctors detected in Trump's body COVID-killing anti-bodies that epidemiologists link to future disease immunity.

In a New York Times article, epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch and immunologist Dr. Michael Mina, both of Harvard, emphatically stated that once a person has successfully fought coronavirus, the acquired antibodies make him virtually immune to reinfection.

ANOTHER IMMUNOLOGICAL STUDY:

University of Arizona immunologist Deepta Bhattacharya's just released study of 6,000 COVID cases revealed that immunity to COVID-19 lasts for at least several months post-COVID-19 infection.  Co-researcher Michael D. Dake, M.D., stated that this research "has armed us with the knowledge that lasting immunity is a reality."


CONTRAST TRUMP's OPTIMISM TO HIS OPPONENT SLOW JOE...

In contrast, Joe Biden is as susceptible to COVID-19 as anyone who has not already contracted the disease.  This vulnerability has led Biden and his campaign team to limit mass political rallies and interaction with constituents, politicians, and the media.  One reason the Commission on Presidential Debates canceled the second debate was Biden's expressed anxiety about appearing in person out of fear of contracting the disease.

If elected president, will Biden's fear of contracting the virus hamper his ability to meet with constituents and members of Congress or visit states after a hurricane or forest fire?  Is Joe Biden going to shy away from meeting with world leaders while Chinese trade and political officials travel from country to country, continent to continent, establishing global trade networks and military alliances?

Most people which includes many Freepers live in near mortal fear of contracting COVID-19. So much so that the believe mere expose to the Corona virus will kill them.

Which means Biden is their man. He understand that we need to lockdown and stop the spread. Overall Biden being still be vulnerable to infection is a net plus for votes.

Of course he is immune he got two massive doses of synthetic killer antibodies. This is also why he tests positive for those less than a week later which is too soon for natural immunity. He got Regeneron it’s effectively the antibody cure. The FDA has been dragging it’s feet for political reason granting the EUA that potus ordered so the rest of the country could have access to it. You can bank on Christie also getting the treatment while he was in ICU

"Mortal fear", a little overstated doncha think?

I'm old and most of my friends are over 60+ and not a one of them has ever expressed a real fear of chi-com 19.

No one wants to catch it, and no one wants cancer or a heart attack, but no one that I know live in "mortal fear" of any disease.

The vast majority of my friends believe in a God and an after life, and since we are all in the late third or early fourth quarter of life, we accept the fact that we will die...soon.

We do not fret it, and certainly don't live in mortal fear of death.

Did you read what I said? Again the fact that Joe is vulnerable to the virus is a net plus. Joe understands that we need protection from the virus. Kamal will not detract from that. For some of the Joe vote, Kamala is the reason they support him which means his vulnerability to the virus is a plus.

The virus is Joe’s friend. Lack of immunity will increase his vote.

“’Mortal fear’, a little overstated doncha think?”

Not really, considering the context. Many people, including some FReepers, actually DO live in MORTAL fear of the cootie. Haven’t you read some of the fearbros’ posts? It seems there are fewer than before, but still...

It makes perfect sense. It’s terrifying to consider the 99.997% risk of SURVIVING.

Know it’s not an overstatement. Go back to the early posts when the WuFlu was just starting. Many on this forum paved the way for the current tyranny and most of them I strongly suspect, based on responses to my “FluBro” posts, were seasoned citizens.

As for the majority of the overall US population, not just the people that surround Freepers, they are fearful and wish to be protected.

Perhaps he’s immune to the strain he had but that doesn’t make him immune to any other strain. Those antibodies may not keep him immune from his original strain past next week.

Whistling past the graveyard.

I’m glad President Trump made a full recovery. However, most Americans do not have access to the experimental new drugs and the top-of-the-line health care that Trump had. So we are naturally going to be more cautious because many of us can’t afford to miss work and then be presented with a four- or five-figure hospital bill on top of it.

“Perhaps he’s immune to the strain he had but that doesn’t make him immune to any other strain.”

BS. Simple, real world test:

Estimates are over 700,000,000 world wide people already had it. “Immune,” by any medical definition you can find, mans “highly resistant to a disease.” (Not “impossible to get)

If the odds were 100:1 against reinfection, by any definition, that is “immune.” Of the 700mm, that would be 7 million getting it twice.

7 million.
Where are they?
Find one million.
Find 100,000.
Ok, find 10,000.. you can’t.
Find 1,000?
100? You. Still. Can’t.

Not even 100 worldwide confirmed symptomatic twice. How about 70?

Nope. Where are they? With gazillions of scientists, journal, politicians trying like crazy to justify lockdowns, they haven’t even found 70 worldwide who had it twice.

That means your odds of getting ittwice, are over 10 MILLION TO ONE!!!

That’s immune.

That’s
