Racism, paternalism, pandemics. With an Ebola outbreak (for example), rich countries rush to lock those countries down to prevent the Ebola getting to us. Notice how with Covid, the exact opposite was done? Rich countries, where the virus started, refused to quarantine themselves from others, to prevent spreading the virus. Flights continued in most developed countries throughout the whole pandemic, spreading it wildly everywhere. Now these same rich countries say the answer is to vaccinate the world, not to shut down their jetset lifestyles to control the spread. The pandemic would have been over last year if they'd done this basic public health act. Then on top of that, these same rich countries took all of the world's vaccines, for themselves. Is it surprising how much the poorer countries in the world probably hate us?
