In the first three minutes, which famous society got into medical quackery and denialism? there’s no limit to the level of insanity of rich families.
So the anti-VAX movement and what not is right up there with climate denialism.
Anyone dedicated the science should realize that the super wealthy are a public health issue, along with everything else.

So terrified that people will vote themselves a party, "frivolities" like a functional health care system for all, a quality education for everyone, or public servants administering the law & regulations fairly, without corruption.

"Permanent economic underclass" is the wordiest phrase describing slavery I've heard yet. It's slavery. They aren't content to strip us of LGBTQ rights, roll back the civil rights act, the 14th amendment, end abortion and no-fault divorce, and strip women of the right to vote or work outside the house. They want to roll us back to the 1600s so they can burn "witches" (everyone they don't agree with) at the stake.
