Disabled people who are still shielding from Covid have far less trust in the government than the general public and are far more likely to believe it handled the pandemic very badly, a survey has found.
Are we in the middle of a counter-terrorism operation that gives the whole country COVID in an attempt to wipe out all those dangerous, disabled insurgents?
The reason the US is giving the whole country COVID is simply because the bourgeoisie are not human.
That is to say, the only concern here is capitalist economic self-interest. We live in an era of quarterly earnings reports. Even though mass death and disabling is obviously bad for the economy in the long-term, sufficient disease response appears more expensive to the capitalist due to short-term up-front costs (same reason America still uses diesel locomotives). To the inhuman bourgeoisie, the “culling” of “expensive” disabled people is beneficial. This is also why assisted suicide in Canada has been expanded into a eugenics program.
Now I emphasize “concern” because there are two reasons for why the capitalist world system has gone with infinity COVID over zero COVID. They can be summed up as capitalism, however.
As mentioned, a perverse focus on the short term gets you perverse results.
Capitalism is inherently incapable of dealing with pandemics. You need a global, centralized response.
Didn’t one of those freaks also do the whole “I regret that I have but one grandparent to give for my country” and somehow that was supposed to inspire you into going out and spending money on small businesses.
Probably. The paywall prevented me from reading the part where she explained her thesis, so I had to go from memory and I think it was her article that got posted here 3 years ago.

I can hear them oinking about it now.
: “Think of how much the economy will be boosted when every one of those proles is dependent on our medicine.”
: “I know, this is an excellent entrepreneurial opportunity. We can’t just be leaving money on the table like this and have a healthy population.”
If I ever hear that it is my ‘patriotic duty’ to get COVID…
That happened in 2020.
DEATH CULT DEATH CULT LUNG FLUID FOR THE LUNG FLUID GOD

I don’t recall, but if you find out please post it so I can gaze upon the statement in despair.
