Stephan:   One of the strangest things I have noticed about the Covid pandemic is that it has become a MAGAt disease, and not by chance but by design. The MAGAt Party is doing everything in its power, from the Supreme Court to the MAGATs in Congress, to Red state governors, to create the circumstances where the MAGAt rabble will contract the disease and die. Don't get vaccinated, don't wear a mask, gather in rallies. The court's decision against vaccine mandates. The medical data is clear, most of the people in the hospitals are unvaccinated, most of the dying are unvaccinated. But why? The obvious answer is that the people that control the MAGAt Party don't care about their faithful rabble. But why? The answer to that question, I think, can only be understood if two other things are considered. First, while Covid has been a disaster for the hands-on medical personnel who staff the hospitals, it has been breathtakingly profitable for America's illness profit corporations, the pharmaceutical companies, the companies that own most of the emergency rooms in the hospitals (See SR archive for more on that), the equipment and supply corporations, and the rest. Second, the owners of the MAGAt Party are restructuring the government of the United States, and how voting takes place, and reducing the population, and killing off the tedious MAGAt rabble, from that perspective, is desirable.
