The prediction: In the 2020s a deadly disease sweeps the country. A vaccine exits but is super scarce. Only the super wealthy and connected are able to get it, and a tyrannical government is using it as a means of control. Social unrest breaks out as people fight over access to the life-saving treatement.
The reality: In the 2020s a deadly disease sweeps the country. A vaccine exists and is readily available, but morons refuse to get it because of a paranoid fantasy their racist uncle shared on Facebook. Social unrest breaks out as people fight against getting the life-saving treament and for "muh freedumbs".

(23,091 posts)Poor and working class would never have had the free and easy access we have under Biden. While drumpf was in power, the vaccines only went to the governors, and Death Sentence made sure only the rich counties got any. This would have continued for a very long time if Biden didn't drastically change the roll out.
Yep, the groundwork was in place.
Thwarted by a most excellent Biden/Harris administration.
