Donald Trump said ‘herd mentality’ will make Covid-19 go away – 7 deadly takedowns
Donald Trump would like everyone to know that there’s no need to panic because Covid-19 will go away even without a vaccine.
How will it do that? Because of a ‘herd mentality’.
Watch this and weep.

And these 7 takedowns were particularly deadly.
1.
Herd immunity is 2 million dead Americans. I have no idea what the fuck herd mentality is but it sounds like it starts with a red hat and a moron.

To achieve a herd immunity of 60%, around 200 million Americans need to catch the coronavirus and 3 million Americans need to die. Herd mentality is believing this all needs to happen because it is too hard to wear a mask, stay 6 feet away from others, and listen to scientists.

“Herd mentality” is what his cult followers have. “Herd immunity” without vaccine is deadly. Trump’s idiocy on science is killing us. #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/NmGJHPXCzD

He doesn’t even know the proper name for the crackpot theory he’s backing to kill millions of Americans
It’s “herd immunity,” not “herd mentality,” and it’s how you handle the bubonic plague if you’re living in Restoration-era England, not the g*ddamned United States in 2020 JFC https://t.co/IFLnPsF6mA

And also this. Very much this.
This is the key point. Everyone on Twitter is mocking Trump's misstatement ("herd mentality" v "herd immunity"). That's a goof.
But if Trump's strategy is to simply let the virus "run its course," that could mean 2m deaths in the next 12 months. That's the real headline. https://t.co/RxeTWUMDfl

To conclude.
I still can’t believe that motherfucker said herd mentality.
