The pandemic that took the world four years ago is a good example of how regimes such as the United States will sadistically expose their population to preventable disease in order to prevent their elites from losing any money. The regime allowed a great number of cases and deaths from COVID since they simply do not care enough about their own citizens enough to implement any kind of disease control or even measures to mitigate spread. They simply allowed the disease to run rampant, kept everyone working, and did not allow anyone to quarantine or provide food or resources to anyone at all. As if a war was going on, it was everyone for themselves and people rushed to the stores, buying food (And all the toilet paper, for some reason?) and stockpiling as if society was going to collapse.
The US lacks even the most basic social support, with most programs being completely worthless or only existing for prestige or to create the illusion of help. Rightists love that because it promotes eugenics and neoliberalism which they support, but even they are not immune to the disease (despite their religious delusions making them believe otherwise.) Minorities and the elderly are disproportionately dying from the disease, due to economic and social factors that force them to put themselves out in jobs for money to survive, since they are not paid enough to have any savings. We know now that when a human-ending pandemic comes into existence, anyone who cannot work from home is guaranteed to die. There will not even be any kind of mitigation of death for anyone below a certain income.
Despite most people considering COVID to be the main example of the government failing to control a disease and leaving it to fester among their population, HIV is a very good example of the US government being either unable or unwilling to prevent communicable diseases and allowing them to become a part of life for marginalized people who are at a higher risk for acquiring these kinds of illnesses. Of course, the societal distrust the public has for the government can be valid. The US government has conducted egregious human experiments on minorities or even members of their own military. The tuskegee experiments are an example where members of the black community were left to develop syphilis for their entire lives just to research the effects of the disease.
People may have the feeling that COVID is in the past and is no longer a thing. The medical system also behaves this way and vaccines for COVID-19 can actually go for a hundred dollars or more, which many people would not be able to afford. For many people, this is enough money for groceries basically spent on nothing. Despite the infrastructure and resources existing to prevent COVID from spreading, everything is locked behind a paywall of insurance. The American regime is too busy trying to censor the internet and murder their activists and journalists than actually control pandemics and disease. Millions died and the US regime has the blood of every COVID and AIDS death on their hands.
