Vaccines protect the workforce and allow individuals to produce more. People being against vaccines cannot be good for capitalism, can it?

It's more important to the owners to keep us largely uneducated and ignorant for their own continued dominance than it is to maximize our longevity. Also they would have to pay honet to God taxes to fund public education, something they've spent decades installing loopholes to get out of, despite profiting directly from a pre-literate workforce Pool.

Just look at our for profit deathcare system, you would think, as they demand Healthcare largely be tied to employment to keep their employees desperately loyal, that it would be in their best interests to approve claims and keep their labor force healthy enough to labor, but it's a numbers game and there's just too much profit to be had, just as with their tax loopholes, in letting laborers die when they get sick or injured rather than approve their claims and letting them eventually recover. That's a lot of lost profit when they can just replace them with someone ready to work tomorrow.

Keeping America unhealthy and stupid is good for Russia. Republicans also benefit because they get to keep stupid people on their side, instead of realizing that they should pair up with poor people on the left. Democrats also benefit because splitting the class across two parties helps maintain the status quo.

Congrats, even this you managed to turn into a class struggle.

Every struggle is either created by or exacerbated by class struggle.

Many cannot be addressed at all without first addressing class inequity.

Antivaxxers were largely made ignorant by for profit media.
