My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

This obsession with 'strengthening' the immune system also completely ignores that with many diseases (covid included) it's the immune response that kills you.
That's what a cytokine storm is.
It's a literal immune system melt down that kills you.

The 1918 flu pandemic set the stage for survivor-bias, which then set the stage for the mainstreaming of eugenics. The nazis started with the disabled, used disability framing to move onto queer people, and eventually widened the net to all 'useless eaters' and 'undesirables'.
The only way to understand this is to realize that they are eugenicists.
To Survive the Next Pandemic, Walk More, the NIH Says
The agency is picking up Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s argument that a healthy immune system can keep even pandemic germs at bay.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
