I came across this when I clicked on a link on an article to another article then a link off that.

Epidemics: Hate and Compassion from the Plague of Athens to AIDS Audible Logo Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Samuel Kline Cohn Jr. (Author), David Colacci (Narrator), Tantor Audio (Publisher)

By investigating thousands of descriptions of epidemics reaching back before the fifth-century-BCE Plague of Athens to the distrust and violence that erupted with Ebola in 2014, Epidemics challenges a dominant hypothesis in the study of epidemics, that invariably across time and space, epidemics provoked hatred, blaming of the “other,” and victimizing bearers of epidemic diseases, particularly when diseases were mysterious, without known cures or preventive measures, as with AIDS during the last two decades of the 20th century.

However, scholars and public intellectuals, especially post-AIDS, have missed a fundamental aspect of the history of epidemics. Instead of sparking hatred and blame, the history of epidemics traced in this study illustrates that more often epidemics inspired compassion and drew communities closer together.

Ridiculously expensive book, and I certainly do not want to give Amazon any business, but this is just a convenient way to post about it. Perhaps the book can be had cheaper from some other source for anyone interested.

“....more often epidemics inspired compassion and drew communities closer together.”

Until now when we have an epidemic/plandemic designed to do the oppposite.
