Firstly, capitalism increases the risk of spreading infectious diseases and stigma. Capitalism spreads the disease by impoverishing migrant health and blaming them, where territorial, political, judicial and economic expulsions are their means. Secondly, capitalism has kidnapped science, which can no longer be truly objective or independent. As criticized by McClure et al. (47), in the context of COVID-19, epidemiology now focuses the obtention of viral infections on individual biology and behavior. However, this ignores the influential role of the occupational environment in the transmission of the virus and, to some extent, absolves industry of responsibility for worker safety. Lessons from the stigma of COVID-19 survivors: A Marxist criticism appraisal https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10097934/ But why wants a Marxist deny Covid? This is beyond my recognition. Possibly was a Marxist with only one brain cell.
