They grew up there, so I would think they know the subject better than me.

Culture supercedes logic and there are very few that can think critically and be socially included in those places. Silent ridicule for getting a vaccine is not uncommon because it's seen as weak or letting the government do what it wants to you.

It's just very ironic and sad.

So yeah now a significant chunk of Americans are feels over reals about shit like medicine

But think of it as a mindset: "if the poors die that's because they deserve it, for not being as smart/tough/clever/strong as us", along with background assumptions about white racial superiority and needing to counter a "great replacement" of whites. Looked at that way, as implicit at least in their outlook if not consciously held, it doesn't seem so implausible that this is influencing their policy decisions.

In the 70s, a paper appeared that linked DDT to reduced bird populations, triggering the US Nixon government to ban DDT. The data was 100% faked by Rachel Carson.

As a result of banning DDT, and estimated 100 million people died worldwide until DDT was brought back in 2000. Carson was given all kinds of awards, accolades and a bronze statue at Wood's Hole. To this day, people supported her "science".

Shit governments listening to shit fake scientists have killed more people than Hitler and Stalin combined.

The whole point of vaccinated army is to be the last level of support in the next flu pandemic.

that vaccine was guaranteed to make you feel awful.

Malaria, Yellow and Dengue fever are guaranteed to make you feel awful.

You've known perfectly reasonable idiots.

The white supremacists in charge believe that they can filter out the weak and inferior through disease, starvation, and other adverse conditions, leaving behind only the glorious genetically superior white Übermenschen like, er, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller and RFK Jr. There is Nazi thinking behind much of what they do.

Doing this to your own armies in the middle of a war seems clearly stupid, but then so do white supremacist eugenics and starting a war with Iran.
