    I'd say it's still capital's fault just on a wider scale and longer timeline. If there wasn't so much distrust in medical institutions and the government as a whole, we wouldn't have as many anti-vaxxers. We also wouldn't have as many late/unboosted vaxxers if people had reliable transport to get their vaccine and guaranteed time off to be sick afterwards.

      I don't disagree, but I hesitate to ascribe blame in an agency sense to this like I would an active op by govt or private institutions. It's more just stochastic capitalism. I guess that is the nuance I am kind of feeling. I don't think any of the pandemic, or inflation for that manner, is intentional its just bog standard capitalism lurching from disaster to disaster.
