Fox News’ Pete Hegseth Says Healthy People Need ‘Courage’ to Get ‘Out There’ and Develop ‘Herd Immunity’ to Coronavirus
By Charlie Nash

Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth said “healthy people” need to pull together the courage to get “out there” amid the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday, remarking, “herd immunity is our friend.”

“I do think you are going to need that kind of ethos and that spirit to put freedom before fear,” Hegseth said on Fox News.

“Listen, there’s a lot of anxiety, there’s a lot of misinformation. The experts,” he said, putting the word in scare quotes, “have been telling us hundreds of thousands of people are going to die. Now that we’re learning more, herd immunity is our friend. Healthy people getting out there, they’re going to have to have some courage.”

“And we’ve seen courage, we’re going to talk about it later, in Texas where people are defying ridiculous orders. That takes courage, that’s not easy,” Hegseth continued. “So I think that spirit, the American Spirit frankly, is in full supply and ready to go. If some of our experts and some of our leaders will just get out of their way — they’re drunk on power — it’s time to open up.”

Set the example. Actions speak louder than words. Lick a few poles while you are out there doing some remote reporting, I mean propaganda, you cretin.

COVID-19 cases could surge in fall, last 2 years, University of Minnesota report says
The pandemic could last up to two years, according to nationally renowned epidemiologist
Michael Osterholm and a team of researchers.

The first wave tends to be concentrated in some areas, subsides during the summer and then becomes widespread in the fall.

“In the first wave of a flu pandemic you have a hit-and-miss phenomena; some cities are hit hard and some are not,” Osterholm said. “When the big wave came around in the fall that is not the case.”

It is still unclear what leads to the wave patterns, Osterholm said, but the virus will continue its spread until a critical mass of the population develops immunity through infection — roughly 70%. Right now, an estimated 5 to 6% of people have been infected, and even then it is unclear how long immunity will last.

10. What's Mr. Hegseth's address? We need to help him every little bit that we can, eh?

He's kind (or is) a hypocrite by advocating people to get out, when he's sitting there in his own living room/den/office, advocating others to brave the wilderness and go out.

11. Hegseth is the guy who brags on air that he doesn't wash his hands, not even after the bathroom.

Trump is a big fan, and even tried to put him in a White House job.
