CORONAVIRUS ‘We Want Them Infected': Trump HHS Appointee Pushed to Expose Infants, Kids, Teens to COVID to Reach ‘Herd Immunity'

 "As the virus spread through the country, these officials callously wrote, 'who cares' and 'we want them infected,'" Clyburn said in a statement. "They privately admitted they 'always knew' the President's policies would cause a 'rise' in cases, and they plotted to blame the spread of the virus on career scientists." 

On June 24, amid the post-Memorial Day surge in cases, Alexander wrote to Caputo and two other HHS officials, "we always knew as you relax and open up, cases will rise." He then questioned, "but are the new cases problematic???"

"We need also to tout the good stories as we know of elderly with serious conditions who get it and survive…this is key to tell," he added.

Throughout the emails, Alexander heavily criticized top government scientific advisors, including Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In a July 3 email to Caputo and other HHS communications officials when U.S. cases stood at just under 2.8 million, Alexander lamented that Fauci warned the public to "expect a dramatic increase in spread." 

More than 16.7 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with COVID-19 so far and more than 306,000 people have died in less than a year, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
