That is not true, I’ve written about how this myth (giving children pathogenic viruses builds a strong immune system) originated from anti vaxxers. It comes from the hygiene hypothesis- itself controversial, that babies should be exposed to MICROBES thegauntlet.news/p/liberals-…

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health

Viruses are bad for kids' health. Public health is a collective effort. Liberals no longer believe either.

I think people could benefit from this reminder The point isnt to reject caring + solidarity just because the ruling class sometimes trafficks in or fucks with us using that language The point is to universalize those concepts, to make them real vs endless promises of “someday”

In direct opposition to this, top priorities of the Soviet + Chinese revolutions were programs to lessen and eradicate disease But the imperial left, we know better - our plan is 1st to mock the wretched disabled, who capital has violently cast by the wayside, then for step 2 we

NGL I see why the Nazis accumulated so much more power after the Spanish Flu in 1918 The resentment and hatred for Disabled ppl on the left has compounded. Ppl truly resent those socially stratified below them displaying any righteous anger. Even leftists despise Disabled ppl

Three years ago, support of 🇵🇸 was not popular. It happened b/c media & govt’s could no longer control the narrative. It’s your job on the left to question what the capitalist ruling class & their media buddies deem “good” & “normal” - not to uncritically accept their messaging.

RT @CovidCaution: Published in the Evening Star, Washington DC, October 16, 1918. People don't change.
Published in the Evening Star, Washington DC, October 16, 1918. A snippet entitled Self-Consciousness. It states "Why don't you wear your influenza mask?" "I'm afraid I might look funny." "Suppose you do. Wouldn't you rather introduce a little comedy into your household than subject it to a tragedy?"

Like, there's a whole reactionary movement using individual fitness to undermine public health, food safety, and healthcare coverage after they've sabotaged the first two things and caused mass castostrophic illness. Yet, that's not at all the discussion anyone's having now.

Given tech oligarchs are aggressively selling us a future in which some people are considered 'useful' enough to live, and others are not, we have much to learn from disability justice, which has always insisted against 'use' as a marker of the right to live.

🚨 “The More Dysgenic, the Better”: Beatrice Adler-Bolton Says the Left Must Give Up the “Fantasy of Being Fitter Than the Fascists” At Socialism 2026, Adler-Bolton argues that “fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism” and says the goal should not be to become “more useful to the ruling order.” She says the left should not try to beat fascists “at their own game” by becoming “fitter, more eugenic.” “In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think.” She closes by arguing that revolution is not “a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies” and that the very idea is itself fascist.

Everybody has organ damage from COVID. You're medically supposed to take MONTHS before returning to strenuous exercise after a COVID infection because of what it does to your vascular system. You're temporarily abled.

Development History As early as the period of the Second Revolutionary Civil War, the Party regarded organizing the army and civilians to carry out mass health campaigns and improving hygiene and disease prevention work as a major issue related to the success or failure of the revolution. In 1933, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in the article "Changgang Township Survey": "Disease is a major enemy in the Soviet areas because it weakens our strength. Like Changgang Township, launching extensive mass health campaigns to reduce and even eliminate diseases is the responsibility of every township совет ."

btw same guys who convinced us to not give a shit about SARS-CoV-2 in spite of - not exaggerating - not a single iota of scientific evidence behind them, and 100,000s of replicable studies from across the world showing they were and are wrong
In 1949, adhering to the principle of putting prevention first in health work, mass health campaigns continued. In the spring of 1952, during the war of aggression against North Korea , US imperialism launched germ warfare against Korea and China. In the wave of defending the homeland, the development of mass health and epidemic prevention campaigns was propelled forward. The people called this great movement the "Patriotic Health Campaigns". The Party Central Committee affirmed this name and instructed all leading bodies to be uniformly called "Patriotic Health Campaign Committees". At the same time, "combining health work with mass health campaigns" was established as a principle of health work. Comrade Mao Zedong called for: "Mobilize, pay attention to hygiene, reduce diseases, improve health levels, and crush the enemy's germ warfare." The Patriotic Health Campaigns not only received unanimous support and participation from the entire nation but also won international acclaim.

These guys will not rest til we have nothing and they have everything. Social Security, our retirements, our work, our time. They’re not the haves, they’re the have-it-alls. We need to build dual power under our democratic control, unable to be looted whenever profit is required

The main thing I have to say to the young generation of Americans is that your grandparents and great-grandparents committed a kind of accounting fraud when they ran our country a century ago with social security, and at the time it was a reasonable affordance to grant our leaders, who were dealing with an economic depression and a world war, but nonetheless they did commit the fraud, and they ended up buying all sorts of extravagant things using the fraudulent gains, including what became the thing we now understand to be the high-modern technocratic nation-state, and that is glorious and also bad and all that, but the thing is there’s still the issue about the accounting fraud, whose debt is coming due and is coming due fast. It is best to consider this with as minimal residue of sentiment as possible, to really sit with it, to stare it coldly in the face. Unwinding the great fraud of the high modernists is your job, whether you wish it to be or not.
