Trump says it's terrific 15% of Americans have caught Covid.

"Speaking at a White House coronavirus vaccine event, the outgoing US president said on Tuesday: “I hear we’re close to 15 percent. I’m hearing that, and that’s terrific.” The one-term president was apparently referring to the theory of herd immunity.
Herd immunity refers to a situation where enough people in a population have immunity to an infection to be able to effectively stop that disease from spreading.

Some 70% of the US population of 330 million would need to be inoculated to achieve “herd” immunity from the virus."

Around 285,000 Americans have died with the disease and the pandemic is continuing to surge across the country."

So if 70% need to catch it then I guess that's a potential over 1 million deaths, small price to pay...

Mmm, hasn't he, at one time equaled having had the disease to being vaccinated? Perhaps when talking about his own case?

Maybe, as real vaccine is going to come too late for him to claim the honors, he is about to claim that those having been ill are now vaccinated, and will soon claim that 15% of the population has been vaccinated on his watch.

It wouldn't even be the worst lie he has told.

ETA: Oh, now saw the video, and ya. He just did exactly that.

How the hell this clown was ever elected is beyond me.

It's a common behaviour. When you perceive you have "plenty" you are not too picky about who else can have a bit, but once you think you have got less then you had before then you will find any way to stop others getting a single morsel.

Unless you are Trump.
In which case having between .5 and 7 billion dollars means you have an uncontrollable compulsion to ****** over subcontractors making $20/hour.

Another item in the “that’s not normal” ledger.

Where did he get 15% from? By any count, the official figure is under 5%., with North Dakota the worst state, approaching 11%?

And I know Dunning Krueger gets thrown out a lot. But people who are bad at evaluating political arguments often don’t know that they are bad at evaluating political arguments.

Say we see a study that finds that African Americans are, on average, 1-2 IQ points below equatable Caucasians? Okay. So what? Declaring that white people are superior to black people based on that? Problematic and invites fallacies. So a perfectly average white person is equivalent to a black person very slightly above average among black people? That gives no reasonable means to validly distinguish between the groups in actual practice, much less make meaningful judgements about the individuals.

What an absolutely awful example to make your point.

Yeah, it's 15% because there are 3 times as many people who have had it, than have been tested positive for it......

......or something :rolleyes:
