Even fascists in other countries aren't this stupid. What do they even want to gain in spreading diseases?
The ideal model of the Fascist economy is get poors to pay taxes and then die when they can't work any more.
There is a ton of fear about vaccines in some areas. I have a feeling some parents are about to learn some lessons in a really terrible way.
See Amish. They won't learn any lessons and just spin death as natural and God's will.
It started out as mostly pandering to their uneducated anti-vax base, but with fascists being in all levels of government now there are more conspiracy theorist true believers in office. So the dumber ones actually believe it, while the less dumb ones use it as a wedge issue to keep support (while being vaccinated themselves).
Even the fucking Nazis and Imperial Japanese understood that vaccines worked.
The Japanese in particular with Unite 731 even developed vaccines for the plague, then tested it by deliberating getting one unvaccinated group infected and another vaccinated group infected. The vaccinated group fared far better than the vaccinated group and had a much higher survivability rating.
I seriously think they want to reduce the population. And if you use disease and only allow the richest people to have access to vaccines, the poors and "undesirables" go first.
I truly think that it's that sinister.
