A key tenet of pragmatism is predicting an outcome is impossible and then doing everything possible to make sure your prediction comes true.
Public health experts committed this grievous logical error early on in COVID, encouraged by capitalists who saw people released from suffering and knew they'd get a taste for it.
"We didn't recommend [these highly effective and cheap countermeasures] because we *KNEW* nobody would do them!" was a common refrain.
