There is an outside chance that they get the infection rate high enough that they reach heard immunity faster than a vaccine is available and they recover to full strength faster than the rest of the world.

I think you're both right.
This particular ad doesn't resonate for me, because the obvious counterargument "but coronavirus" isn't addressed. The ad really would have been better if it pointed out that Trump's failure to properly handle the Covid-19 outbreak has led to an ongoing crisis of unemployment and death. That would be fairer and more persuasive.
But I'm guessing that (a) they wanted to squeeze this into 60 seconds, and (b) they prefer to keep their message simple, since a lot of the people they're targeting with it aren't interested in depth or nuance.
