Summary:

The legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic will haunt our nation (United States) for many years. This is true not only because of the horrific toll of more than one million American deaths, and those who lost loved ones, but also several failed public health policies that contributed to America's suffering. In "We Want Them Infected" Dr. Howard tells a dark story of how spurious concepts of herd immunity may have contributed to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States (and perhaps globally). His book provides important information about how we might limit the death and destruction of future virus pandemics.

Contents:

"We have protected the vulnerable by vaccinating the older population"

"It was an unimaginable hell to be quite honest"

"This would translate into about 10,000 deaths"

"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence"

"By rebuilding population immunity among the least at-risk, moreover, we help buffer risk for those most vulnerable"

"Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions, etc. have zero to little risk... so we use them to develop herd... we want them infected..."

"We'll have herd immunity by April"

"The fear that's driving this pandemic has been heartbreaking to see"

"Any strong advocate for kid COVID vaccination is off their rocker"

Conclusion: "Every time we see or hear such mistruths we need to combat them and call them out".
