Did Bernie read my Terminator fanfic? The one where the 1% are living it up on some islands with T800 butlers while the Terminators clear out the rest of humanity?

Why bother with expensive machines? Just outlaw new vaccines, make it difficult for the common people to access modern medicine,and get them to believe in magic cures and faith healing.

Oh wait. That's not fiction. That's happening now.

Because outlawing vaccines can't bring you a mojito by the pool? Also, while that's a bold plan to eradicate the poors, all of human history up until vaccines were created suggests it might not work.
