That's a good point about Trump's booster. That went right over my head. He already contracted COVID, so, like, hmmmm.

Hi bbotcs, yeah you would think he has sufficient immunity already. But maybe that immunity disappears in older people in not so good health ?

In a variation of "follow the money" lets follow the election results.

If you look at Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia - if you add up deaths and compare them to the difference in votes in each state, its easy to see that - if you assume most deaths are older republican leaning voters - these states will be blue leaning in 2024 - and no amount of false voter fraud claims will be able to account for the difference.

And if you look at Texas, deaths plus influx of tech workers might tip that state over to blue maybe not in 2024 but possibly 2028.

So the 110,000 covid deaths in these 5 states - so far - could have a real effect on national election results.

since he has natural immunity from catching COVID?

Natural immunity from covid only lasts about 90 days.

Predictions are that non-vaxed who get Covid will get it AGAIN around 18 months out... just the stat/odds... with Omicron now, virtually EVERYONE will eventually test positive...unvaxed will suffer most symptoms... /e
