Fox News contributor Lara Trump on Thursday explained that she is against face masks because she is "thrilled" when her 3-year-old child gets sick.
Trump made the remarks during a rant opposing masks on Fox & Friends.
"The idea that we're going to make our children sit in school masked up all day long I think is absolutely ludicrous," she opined.
Trump went on to complain that children are "not coming in contact with germs that they need to develop an immune system."

Oh goody, Dr Tump and renowned immunologist speaks.
Will she be as thrilled if and when she is proven wrong. The kids are dying Lara, because of idiots like you.

(3,289 posts)Or does she think getting measles and polio will strengthen her child's immune system?
It's -- it's scary. She doesn't actually believe this. But she says it... why? To somehow pretend that Covid's no big deal; therefore somehow Trump presiding over 600K deaths is no big deal?

(667 posts)You could perhaps ignore yearly flu vaccines but not this year. You need polio, smallpox, DPT, MMR and Covid. My father lost 2 sibs during the 1918 pandemic. This is much more serious.

Obviously if there's a vaccine, that's even better than getting sick.
All I'm saying is that in general, it's probably good for kids to be exposed to the worlds pathogens ... when they're overly protected from germs when they're young (regardless of coming down with actual sickness from them) I would bet that they won't develop as strong/diverse an immune system.
If there's something deadly floating around that affects kids though it SHOULD change the calculation for a mother.

Once when one had diarrhea and another when the whole family came down with flu like symptoms. Both negative.

(3,313 posts)Developing a strong immune system is very important in the early stages of a childs life, which includes exposure to germs. There is a lot of evidence for this. Furthermore, the so called hygiene hypothesis states that early childhood exposure to particular microorganisms protects against allergic diseases by contributing to the development of the immune system.

(9,139 posts)Let's say, in your twisted mind, that it's OK for some kids to die of COVID as long as others get it and gain immunity.
What about the rest of the us?
Your little tykes, bravely "building up" their immune systems by catching the virus, are carrying it and spreading it to the rest of us.
God, these motherfuckers are stupid.

(21,445 posts)gets covid, recovers, and then has chronic heart, lung, or kidney disease the rest of its life? How thrilled will the kid be when it is old enough to learn that its mother caused its disabilities through deliberate neglect?

Sorry if this is harsh, but these fucks do not care if our kids die just for the political power, and money to be made through the corruption they bring with it. Please trumps, no Vax, no masks, stand nut to butt at your Mar-A-Logo Trump praise fests and open those pie holes and shout. Delta, if your listening, youll be greatly rewarded.

As for the sperm donor? All I see are bars in his future, of one type or another.

(10,715 posts)Vaccines, of course, are a much safer way to develop an immune system than just giving a kid full-blown diseases and expecting the kid to survive unscathed. Some people have really no idea what human history was like before we had vaccines or understanding.
