Antihomeless agitprop working as expected https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/man-wanted-after-attack-homeless-man-near-market-square/AOPH62C4VBB2VHBTPZABYOFLHE/ quote:PITTSBURGH — A violent attack happened steps away from downtown Pittsburgh’s Market Square last week. Impressive chutzpah to gin up violence against the homeless and use the resulting violence as evidence we need more police, though

Engorged Pedipalps posted:There wasn't ever a concept of public health in America though, we have traditionally blundered through infectious disease outbreaks and major public health crises because American determinism and to a lesser extent the bill of rights are major impediments to caring for collective health Yeah, no. We used to actually do poo poo. The 1918 flu pandemic posted:Noncompliance was so widespread in Oakland that officials deputized 300 War Service civilian volunteers to secure the names and addresses of violators so they could be charged. When a mask order went into effect in Sacramento, the police chief instructed officers to "Go out on the streets, and whenever you see a man without a mask, bring him in or send for the wagon." Within 20 minutes, police stations were flooded with offenders. In San Francisco, there were so many arrests that the police chief warned city officials he was running out of jail cells. Judges and officers were forced to work late nights and weekends to clear the backlog of cases. Wholesale destruction of the concept of public health is more neoliberal rot.

Engorged Pedipalps posted:You are demonstrating the American willingness to not comply with a public health order gutted compliance enforcement is exactly what he's talking about. Polio vaccinations were enforced by the National Guard if necessary. In the 2020s, public health is just an individual consumer choice and there are no bad consumer choices, just different ones. In the case of the Covid pandemic the calls for non-compliance were top down, not bottom up. The minute the rich figured out their money insulated them from this too, their media apparatus started flooding the country with poo poo about how Covid was just a cold and we can't "let the cure be worse than the disease." Remember the president telling people to "use your beautiful second amendment" to "liberate Michigan"? Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud has issued a correction as of 19:54 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Smallpox vaccination drives had something like 98 percent of ppl getting shots in places like NYC iirc

Erosion of trust of authority, specifically of the federal government, shouldn't be discounted. And how that mistrust came to be so widespread is a discussion that would probably betray one's own political views but is a discussion the US gov will never have with itself.

A fun piece of history of the US is how many people yellow fever used to kill. Highly recommend reading Necropolis by Kathryn Olivarius for a look at how different things were. But also basically the same. Before public health stepped it the rhetoric was constantly "yeah well only those weak and not blessed by god die"
