Yes, the wisdom of his statements jumps from "utterly nonsensical" to "occasionally somewhat correct" if you interpret what he says with the same leniency you might a 12 year old.
For example, he probably meant immune by the definition "protected from" with the implied thing being "serious medical harm" rather than "infection".
I agree it's disingenuous to call him a deliberate liar here when the truth is he just speaks with the vocabulary and scientific acumen of a candid 6th grader.
The real shame is triplicate here:
1. That we must settle for a president with those verbal skills
2. That his verbal skills are perhaps more reflective of the average American than we'd like to believe
3. That people with sometimes exceptional verbal skills and education can somehow not comprehend some of the simple truths that he can (children being at extremely low personal health risk should've been obvious to everyone after the first few months of the pandemic)
And in my opinion, the well educated being deluded into a false perception of reality is a lot more startling of a fact than that a person who has an obviously mediocre command of his native language and paltry understanding of scientific fundamentals said something that was incoherent and not technically correct when trying to verbalise his opinions.
