I once wrote that if we lived 700 years, wars would be 800 years apart. If all veterans are dead and there are no living witnesses to the carnage, a society could be more easily conned into war.
This might be key to some right wing think tanks that happily advise Trump to advance infection among the oldest generation.
This hypothesis is as crazy as what is already going on but the more likely causitive factor in our deliberate runaway infection rates is simply the self interest of our sociopath President.

The President has earnestly tried to make Dr. Fauci (the most published epidemiologist in the world) a target of assasination and has suceeded with Dr. Fauci receiving numerous threats.
You won't see Trump stand close to Fauci ever again.
