This is not just wrong. It is fairly insane.
Trump’s new advisor, Scott Atlas, who has no infectious disease training, is pushing the herd immunity strategy which failed in Sweden. “With a population of 328M in the US, it may require 2.13 million deaths to reach a 65% threshold of herd immunity.” washingtonpost.com/politics/…

His whole administration is totally insane

Trump seems to be shooting for "largest death tole under any president" world record.
Putting "require" & "death" & "x-million" in one sentence gives me historical deja vu. Geez.

No lockdown, no hysteria... DOMINIC SANDBROOK asks: Is Sweden proof we got it all terribly wrong? dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic…

Would he be willing to start with the WH? Of course not.

What's insane about it exactly?? And can you explain how it hasn't worked in Sweden?? Their numbers seem pretty good to me...

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A MONSTER.

And @WashingtonPost describes his stance, which would kill 2 million, as "controversial." Dig out your thesaurus WP because your use of "controversial" is obscene.

Let’s be honest. We already have herd immunity strategy in place. Prevention was always talked but never walked🤗
