Part of the problem is that we never properly eradicated it. We just let the disease fester in the poorest and most downtrodden communities, because we could save a few bucks that way.

Now that we're embracing the Far Left Communist Policies of Degrowth, by way of degraded housing, consumerist health care, and defunded public utilities, we're reintroducing contagious diseases to the parts of the population that can no longer afford to guard against them.

These are the wages of Socialized Health Care. The only solution is to become more fiscally conservative and to teach people the value of clean living, hard work, and an immune system fortified with herbal supplements.
