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?

number doesn't seem to be affected by it so far

Because none of this will touch them. Their healthcare will not be collapsing.

None of this matters.

chuds are not the only demographic refusing vaccination. another huge demographic is young people. i’d wager most people refusing vaccination are far far less political or ideologically motivated than you think. if you set the figure high enough ($1,000? $2,000? $5,000???) i guarantee you the money will do all the arguing to convince ppl to get vaxxed. add in three paid sick days, too.

just off voting rates vs vaccination rates, old people vote the most and most conservatively, but they also got vaccinated the most as a group. I'm sure the 10% of olds who didn't vax are 100% trump voters but still there's plenty who did juice up

Edit wow, 65+ is 91% first dose, 81% 2 doses

Another huge demographic is uninsured people. They sure have reason to be naturally suspicious of something being called free even though this is the rare instance of it being true.

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.

*watches video of chuds threatening pharmacists with execution*

"this is because the government didn't pay people to take a shot"

its like there's a contingent of CSPAM that haven't crack pinged yet and still think there's hope for the country and that Americans will do the right thing if the corrective incentives are in place
theres a big difference between the true believers and your average everyday dumbass that isnt vaccinated bc he just doesnt care. the latter is a much larger group.
