Consider that causing 1% of the group's population to die might not weaken the group and in fact might make the group stronger.

Disease doesn't kill "weaker" members of a group, it kills susceptible ones.

The Spanish Flu notably had a much higher mortality amongst younger, healthier people.

COVID however is most fatal to the eldery. Letting it simply rage out of control could push back the social security crisis a few years.

I don't think anything as Machiavellian as this is going on. I think it was all just a culmination of decades anti-expert propaganda and knee-jerk obstructionism coming to a head in a terribly fatal way.

He’s effectively describing Trump’s leaked plan to let covid ravage blue urban areas before the election, but here framing it as a liberal plot as a narrative device

Maybe he’s a Republican astroturfer

Someone just learned the root language of real human economics taught to us as abstractions through story and pie chart.

People laughing about people believing in conspiracy theories spreading conspiracy theories. No useful comments come to mind, can only watch in awe.

Consider it a form of entertainment if you can stomach the more morbid aspects of it.

Alternatively, maybe he's a Democratic astroturfer using reverse reverse psychology to convince holdouts to go get vaccinated.
