You're a moron, parroting a lying talking point.

Up to about the age of 50, the average person has a 99.997% chance of surviving without complications.

"Herd immunity", as I've explained before, and if you were not an ignorant partisan dipshit immune to the facts, is about protecting the vulnerable (such as the elderly, and the immune-compromised of all ages) and while taking reasonable precautions (masks and social distancing ), Covid-19 won't kill the overwhelming number of people who get it. Over the age of 70, that number goes down to about 99.95% who survive. These lockdowns, which aren't even scientific or effective, are NOT about prevention. They are about globalist/Leftist/marxist society change and establishing authoritarian CONTROL, under the disguise of protecting people. But study after study shows that lockdowns actually cause MORE infections, in addition to economic damage. They're really about crushing small business owners, Christians, Jews and other conservative religious groups, gun owners and retailers, and other enemies of the Left. Crushing conservatives' ability to gather and organize.

Further, "herd immunity" just means that 50% to 70% of a population has achieved immunity. And herd immunity can be achieved through vaccination. As Trump's administration has conceived and organized extremely well.

And even in Sweden, where they have tried to reach herd immunity without a vaccine, they have slightly more cases, but without the economic devastation of the lockdowns implemented by tyrannical governors in the U.S., and in many other nations.

And the "killing grandma" method you allege, was ACTUALLY implemented by Democrat governors in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and other Democrat states.
Whereas Republican states like Texas and Florida took precautions for the elderly, and therefore never came near the elderly nursing home casualties of the Democrat-governor states.
And I repeat : New York governor Andrew Cuomo, despite enormous resources given to him by President Trump, everything Cuomo requested, SQUANDERED those resources, and Cuomo oversaw the highest ratio of Covid-19 deaths OF ANY REGION ON THE ENTIRE PLANET !

That's what the Democrats offer in the realm of leadership.
Likewise with Obama/Biden in the 2009-2010 H1N1 "Swine Flu" outbreak, that infected about 65 million people.
Where Biden's then and now chief of staff Ron Klain said it was just "luck" that the outbreak was not as bad as Covid-19, and that they were unprepared and incapable of doing anything to stop it.

Incompetents. Corrupt incompetents.
If Biden is inaugurated, God help us all.

Without the death totals racked up by incompetent Democrat governors, the U.S. would have BY FAR the lowest ratio of deaths per 100,000 of any nation on the planet. Last I looked, we were the 2nd lowest, only surpassed by Germany, but Germany has since had a large surge in deaths and may no longer be the lowest.
