Full title: 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, and treason.

People have alway been stupid.

100 years ago during the spanish flu we had the exact same shit we had today. idiots spewing pseudoscience, idiots saying its just a cold, idiots saying masks are worse for your health than a "minor" infection, etc etc.

and I imagine you'd run into the same kind of sentiments no matter how far you go back in history.

Because people are stupid. People are myopic.

Individuals may be empathic and genuinely care and do everything they can, but the majority are just mouth breathing plague carrying idiots whose greatest achievement in life is not drowning in the rain.
