Under fascism, getting sick is a personal problem and an individual failing.

And if you’re female, under Texas’s new exploration of banning mailed abortion pills as they expand their anti-woman arsenal of laws via tattling meddling neighbors, forced physical exams coming soon! Oh, the “freedom”!

Oh, personal never gets to mean private! It just means you're solely responsible for the bill as opposed to any public support. No, you have no privacy in fascism, unless you're one of the "two legs good" instead of the "four legs bad" members of the animal farm.

Oh well said, Kate! “No Privacy in Fascism!” fits on a hat. Shall we stick with red hats? It matches blood . . . so, yeah. But I could go with black hats; matches darkness.

Exactly. It's also a personal flaw.

The problem with vaccines (and meds in general) is that it helps most people in the same way. Cures are to cheap and easy to get. This means, from a eugenics point of view, too many people with "flaws" are surviving too long. They're a burden on society and take up too much land/time/resources/money.

Oh, the rich folks will still get access to vaccines (even if not here). This dislike that anyone, including the rabble, can get them. It chafes the rich and powerful that the peons have access to much of the same things they have, because if everyone has access to them, then these things are not special...including vaccines.
