From what I read, msm is omitting a lot of the actual statements and quoting things like "who cares" and"let them get infected". I can see how that can be alarming. But read the rest. A majority of people only scan articles but don't actually read them because it takes too long. That's the way of the world now. Search engines even have the approximate time to read on search results.
The memos actually discuss achieving herd immunity through the younger people because they have a very small rate of serious complications. But they also say "as long as we protect the vulnerable and elderly".
"Herd immunity" is something the top scientists were trying to do. Here's some of the memos, tell me what you think: (source coronavirus.house.gov)
HHS Senior Advisor Paul Alexander strategized with other top officials from HHS, CDC, and FDA about pursuing a herd immunity strategy in response to the coronavirus pandemic. For example, on July 3, 2020, Dr. Alexander wrote: “So the bottom line is if it is more infectiouness [sic] now, the issue is who cares? If it is causing more cases in young, my word is who cares…as long as we make sensible decisions, and protect the elderely [sic] and nursing homes, we must go on with life….who cares if we test more and get more positive tests…”
On July 4, 2020, Dr. Alexander wrote: “There is no other way, we need to establish herd, and it only comes about allowing the non-high risk groups expose themselves to the virus. PERIOD.”
Also on July 4, 2020, Dr. Alexander stated: “Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions etc. have zero to little risk….so we use them to develop herd…we want them infected…”
On July 24, 2020, Dr. Alexander wrote to FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn and HHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo: “it may be that it will be best if we open up and flood the zone and let the kids and young folk get infected” as a strategy to get “natural immunity…natural exposure.”
