He absolutely said that, but he wasn’t alone, many of the Covid geniuses thought the same thing.

That is so absolutely dumb. When the Pandemic was starting out during our winter , it was out of control in the hot weather of Iran. Starting to get out of control in the summer of Brazil and South Africa. Only stable geniuses like trump would predict that the weather would control the outbreak. Gimme an other shot of Clorox.
It is well known with all the vaccines that even if you are "immunized" and your system is ready to fight efficiently, this fight is not instantaneous. When you are "immunized" there are 2 systems protecting you. First you have a certain amount of antibodies circulating within your blood. When they find the antigen (the virus in this case) they trap it and, second, they present it to specialized lymphocytes (white cells, that were programmed upon vaccination) that will then produce much more antibodies and sort of eat the antigen. The reaction goes on and on up to the victory when there are no more circulating antigens. Afterward, the quantity of circulating antibodies will go down again, but your system is on guard for the next infection. The herd immunity is reached when a large majority of the population has this "safety watch" protection. So you may catch the virus, amplifies it a bit, and pass it but you may not notice it as you will not have any symptoms and will not be sick. Assuming you pass it to an "immunized" one, it will be the same for him. But if you pass it to a "non-immunized one" then this person could be sick. Herd immunity is just a statistic question. There are thousands of virus circulating but because we are immunized or they are not harmfull we do not notice them. Some virus even protect us as they are harmless but have similar proteins to other harmfull ones. In contact with the first ones, we have a kind of immunity toward the second dangerous ones. Just remember that those reactions take time and even if you are protected from sickness you can still pas the virus to and unprotected people. You understand that this is a simplified explanation giving you and idea of how the system works. In real life, immunology is a complex but wonderfull and efficient sytem but not fullproof... That is why we are still at war against HIV and cancer. Hope that it's help.
The problem is you don't get what is written. COVID is the disease, not the virus. The virus is Sars-Cov-2. So yes the vaccines prevent the disease but do not prevent you from getting the virus, amplifying a bit within your lungs (before your immune system eliminates all virus within you) and passing it to others. That is why, even vaccinated and immunized (it takes usually about 2-3 weeks to get a reliable immunity and often 2 doses to get a robust lasting one) we will be asked to continue to wash our hands, wear a mask (to protect others) and social distances. When we will get to herd immunity (6-9 months, who knows...) we could get back to a new normal that could be different from the one pre-COVID. Notice the words "believe" and "may" in the citation. Everything in the CDC statement is actually true. Vaccines (Pfizer, Modena and Astra-Zeneca) demonstrated to prevent severe illness. Nothing more, nothing less, for the moment. We can be hopefull but we must stay realistic.

Your right, it is completely dumb to think only Trump felt this way. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[...]. I allready put a link from Australian government explaining in simple words how immunology, our biological defense system, works. If you don't get it find some help. [...]. Stay safe!!! And by the way, I know very well what I'm talking about it is my field of expertise and training others.
