Remember when we treated the flu with tea, soup, and saltines instead of communism.

My boss encouraged flu shots. Flu hurts productivity. When I had the flu, I sometimes was out fora week. Sick at work, I couldn’t produce as. Icy, plus I was spreading to my coworkers, which damaged their productivity.
Yeah, sure, and I remember learning about how in 1918, they prevented all those flu deaths with soup, tea, and crackers. Oh, no, wait, millions of people died. From the flu. Dumbass.
Remember when they treated polio with prayer and tetanus with eulogies?
Telling people not to spread a contagious disease isn’t communism, it’s common fucking sense. You might as well say laws against murder are communism.
Well, you can still treat the flu or even COVID with whatever the hell you want, nobody's going to stop you. Whether that "treatment" actually does anything or not is another story, of course.
First of all, even before COVID most sane people still took flu shots to stop themselves from getting sick.
Secondly, COVID is not the flu.
Third, the Spanish Flu; look it up, dumbass.
Fourth, how is keeping people healthy, safe, and productive in any way communism?

Red Scare? But it's also old in paranoid politics, a hasty generalization, a false equivalence straw man put on to promote parodies of health management, etc...
Did you know that identitarian fascists also promote decreased intelligence? Evidence demonstrated that a healthy society performs better, including mentally. To deny that, racialists and eugenists promote pseudoscience misconstruing color and IQ performance as genetically induced inferiority. History shows that the same people and color, when less oppressed and healthier, is like any other healthy society in terms of performance. By fighting against general healthcare, one allows other countries who consider it important to outperform them. Have you noticed how much of the best science that used to be done in the US is now done elsewhere? Have you noticed the incredible ignorance required to subscribe to Sorbo-style madness? Have you noticed how dictatorial regimes are still succeeding to weaken the West with their information operations and interference? They seed and the madness from within spreads like cancer. Cancer is used as an analogy, but in a context where it makes sense: misbehaving cells cause disease in the organism, just like disinformation harms society from within, and some people more than others.
Confused?
