'A Terrible Strategy': Trump's Herd Immunity Covid Plan Panned | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Trump had called it herd mentality. He may have been talking about his cult followers. They believe whatever he says.
As does Rachel Maddow’s followers when she tells them that the Green Party are russians. You’re all nuts
@John Thomas
Throckmorton sign
@red Buoy You got my reference
@John Thomas Pathetic. Turd mentality.
@Adam T You creatures sure like rhymes and puns and calling other people pathetic. I guess to a subhuman like you, I’m a russian
trump : “herd mentality : believe my lies… follow me… die for me… be suckers… problem solved” 🙂
MAGA = ‘Turd Mentality’
Good one!
MAGA = Making American Graves Available
UK has already tried herd immunity and failed. I don’t want to watch any Trump news anymore, so frustrating…
And Sweden. It’s disastrous. Immunity only seems to last a couple of months, so how is herd immunity supposed to work?
@Mary Lynne The strategy works pretty well in Sweden at the moment :0)

@Mary Lynne Sweden is doing fine, and Trump never said herd immunity was a strategy.
Herd immunity is not something you try, it just happens over time.
@Jörgen Larsson not even close
Thanks MSNBC for all the real news, but there’s a typo in the description, it should read “Dean of Brown University” instead of “Dead”. Cheers…
I think it should be “Head of…”
Trump is a psychopath, badly in need of a holiday, courtesy of the Govt in a secure location…
He’s not even close to being a psychopath, you’re insane.
@Patriot Spring Really? And how long have you been a psychiatrist? Most of the ones talking about Trump call him ‘Psychopathic’
@OSKA One doesn’t need to be a psychiatrist to see he’s not a psychopath.
@Patriot Spring Really? Well it’s easy to see why the words ‘Fukin Moron’ were invented to describe idiots like you & Trump
@Patriot Spring That is very true. Trump is a SOCIOPATH.
Trump: “Herb Mentality, nobody ever heard of it. I know it better than any science in the world”
Um, herb mentality is something you get from smoking too much weed. That and the munchies.
Trump: “Science doesn’t know anything about herb mentality or herd mentality. The trees in California are buched together like a herd and if I nuked them there would be nuclear winter and the temperatures would come down and this whole COVID thing would be solved. I’m really smart…you should check out my television ratings
That’s ok, I’m sure Trump has a gold star medical plan in the works, just in case. https://mobile.twitter.com/meidastouch/status/1289993235490775041?s=21
The perfect approach for when you have miss handled the problem. It is a do nothing remedy
brilliantly said and explained, ty dr jha and dr maddow. it takes a sick mind to even seriously consider it!
It’s never been more evident we have an incompetent president.
Gee, at one point, i thought that was Reagan. Then I was absolutely positive it was Bush 2. Now, I am expecting the GOP to nominate something worse than Trump, but imagining such a creature is beyond my current world view. However, I have faith in the GOP to produce it.
C’mon, it’s been exactly as evident since descending the escalator.
When Trumps own family acknowledges he is a Narcissistic sociopath you should listen. Vote out Moronvirus so we can deal with Coronavirus and the damage it’s causing to the economy and the American people.
The UK started down this road and when presented with facts, they got serious and The PM got Covic 19..having that many sick means your medical system is overwhelmed. Count in that frontline medical workers.
And many people who don’t die still stay permanently unwell.
Herd immunity won’t work I already got corona twice exactly 90 days after the first time I got the corona
Let’s be fair to Trump: when you are faced by the Trump Sheeples “herd mentality” are some of the words that come to mind.
Does anyone think for one second what herd ammunity would do to the tourism trade.
A convenient plan for trumps lack of action with any kind of plan.
Herd behavior. ? Lemming bait.
It’s the strategy of give up, play dead, and wish it will all just go away.
Now now, let’s get it right..it is Trump’s herd MENTALITY plan. Ugh.
To get to Herd immunity 10 million + would have to die first, Herd casualties
Dogturd J. Trunt: Fudge dragon sans pareil.
