The very richest don't care about lives, unless those lives cost them enough money. For those of us who will never be the richest, racism makes the bargain look like "if I get sick, I'll get all the treatments and I'll be just fine, if they get sick, they can't get to any treatments and more of them will suffer and die." Except it really looks more like "those silly people aren't getting vaccinated at the same rate, and their hospitals can't deal with the greater influx of sick people. Sucks to be them that they didn't choose to live in a better neighborhood."
We're hoping not to catch it ourselves, but it would be nice if everyone around us was acting like they didn't, as well.
