So “do nothing” is his answer to bird flu and measles?

    Everyone who survives will be immune.

    That's the whole logic. It was awful enough with Covid's 1% mortality. Measles only kills about 0.1%. Bird flu kills 90-100% of infected birds and 50% of infected humans. And there's plenty of lasting/permanent deficits short of literal death. They're psychopaths.

    hey theres a good chance certain very old people in leadership and in high risk group of falling over to it will catch it, so the problem would solve itself naturally?
