And you’ve seen evidence of this in “cut unemployment benefits and git back to work” crowd? These are people on benefits who don’t want government handouts. They want everyone back to work so they can have their morning McCafé and stop seeing “those” people buying Gucci with unemployment benefits.

They’re just stupid.

holy poo poo that vid is absolute bad faith bs all throughout:

- as mentioned, says he doesn't think anyone in a position of power is anti-vaxx
- credits NZ's low cases entirely due to closing borders
- conflates people intentionally avoiding the vaccine from the MAGA crowd with poor minorities communities who can't get vacccinated for economic reasons

passing the buck of being unvaccinated on to individuals seems pretty ridiculous considering how little effort the american government has actually put in to getting people vaccinated, lol.

unvaccinated people are a sign of institutional failures, not individual ones

Ok. So when does Lenin get off the train from germany to save the unvaxxed

Edit this whole thing hits on a personal level. My wife's aunt is black, has a chemistry degree, works in food science, and refuses to get vaccinated because of the Tuskegee experiments.

She's rich, money won't convince her. She's smart and won't change her mind. Only force works for someone like that

In your estimation is a rich minority who refuses the vaccine more, less, or equally personally culpable than a poor white

A Maccabi Healthcare Services study released last Wednesday found that the booster shot was effective in preventing COVID-19 infection among people 60 and older.

“The third shot is highly effective both against infection and serious illness,” said Anat Ekka Zohar, the head of Maccabi’s Quality, Research and Digital Health Division, urging anyone eligible to get vaccinated.

“The vaccine’s effectiveness is proving itself against the delta variant and is the solution for curbing widespread infection,” she added.

Speaking with the Ynet news site last week, Prof. Ran Balicer, one of Israel’s top coronavirus experts, said that over two days, he had observed a “curb in the number of new cases in the over 60s, who are mostly inoculated with a third dose.”

He added: “We can say that, today, booster shots for 60-year-olds and now even people over 50 are doing their job in the sense that they reduce infection rates.”

According to Health Ministry data, new cases have seen a small decline over recent days – from 8,646 cases on August 16 to 7,815 cases on August 20.

lol at thinking most unvaxxed are because the government didn't try hard enough and not because most of them are chuds who are only motivated by spiting the libs.

Some contingent of the antivax crowd are undoubtedly class enemies because they're petit bourgeois white suburbanites, but putting all the blame on antivaxers is dumb as hell. I guarantee you most of them would have relented and taken the jab if, say, the National Guard rolled up to their house in uniform. We never would have pursued that kind of solution, of course, but it was an alternative the state could have pursued if it cared about anything other than capitalist expansion. Any time spent blaming individuals for being brainwashed or stupid is wasted. Sure, some of these people you might not find common cause with but others might be open to hearing about alternatives. This whole thing is an object lesson in bourgeois vs socialist state power in action.

why does the ruling class think that allowing all US hospitals to fill up and allowing the US healthcare system to collapse is going to work out better for them in the long run? It doesn't seem like there's any reason why that would be the case. Am I just dumb? Why not avoid total collapse of the healthcare system instead?
