    Republicans and Trump love the idea of Americans work without care (who needs masks, right?) to increase profits!

    Misery and death is just what it is right?

    They even say vaccines aren't as good as getting diseases, so go get infected and get it over with!

    Of course, the 1% will be home or in their executive lounges so they will wait for tge latest cueed and vaccines and around the care by private doctors, so their "Herd Immunity" is superior genes and bank accounts!

    Just get plenty of caskets and mass graves for the dead from overloaded hospitals and workers whose insurance havrun out or not covered, and lost of babies for replacements, and America will become Great Again!

    Unless COVID is one of the diseases which don't have great immunity, so have even more babies, and allow more illegals to come and work to keep up the slack from sick and dead.

    Herd immunity and nothing else would be better than another lockdown.
    But in fact developing herd immunity combined with a vaccine as.soon as we can get one is the only way well.defeat it.

    Whining about the dead doesn't change that

    "Herd immunity" without a vaccine is foolish, at best. ******** on the living-but-vulnerable doesn't change that.

    Herd "mentality" would result in between six to nine millions deaths and is probably impossible since re-infection is possible. Only an idiot would support it which if why the orange idiot does.

    And there has yet to be effective studies to see if "Herd Immunity" even works worth a damn for COVID anyway!

    Trump "Herd Mentality" is going to bet millions of lives on that, all to avoid having people wear a mask and NOW, Trump makes fun of washing hands!

    Republicans don't care WHO they sicken and kill, as long as lower class workers can slaughter lifestock cheaply.

    The funny part is the dullards who attend the orange menace's rallies sign a waiver to indemnify Trump and his campaign for any Covid-19 illnesses attendees can trace to the rallies. A smart person would wonder why the waiver is necessary if Covid-19 is no big deal and the rallies are safe. Of course, smart people don't go to Trump rallies.

    I hadn't heard these brainwash herd mentality had to sign a waiver!

    Although the Republican leader Moscow Mitch was trying to add a COVID immunity for businesses as part of the "Hero's Act" to release COVID funds. I understood that that was dropped in order to get the trillion for the various free cash huge conglomerates (The Republicans said it together - "This free corporate money is NOT Socialism!)

    But to indemnify the corporations from their actions from COVID illness and death are certainly ready November 4th to be passed immediately whether Trump wins or loses.

    Herd mentality and behavior is on full public display for these last 10 months. Driven by the fear mongers in the media, the herd (at least large portions of it) is still in full stampede. The human herd has joined the Church of the Poisoned Mind, using the sacramental mask at every opportunity.

    In the meantime, herd immunity grows wider every day.

    As more people who had COVID, recovered and tested healthy, and then a few months was very ill with COVID again, verified by the new infection was a different strain.

    Oh well, the "herd" is expendable.

    Your opinions are formed by the talking heads and propagandists in the mainstream media.

    I form my opinions independently.

    Of the dozens of friends and acquaintances of mine who've been infected since January, not one has been reinfected.

    Well, with that kind of large and varied experience, who needs science or research?
