What does the image convey about “toxic subjects” (their character, dynamics, etc.)? (How) Does this image open up the concept of “toxicity”?

This image opens the concept of toxicity to a consideration financial burdens as a result of cancer. Theorizing "toxicity" through access (and lack of access to financial resources) is a useful way to explore how life chances accumulate more for some than others. I think it is interesting that while the critical commentary cannot directly place for whom this image would circulate, it could be potentially useful to consider how race and class may play a pivotal role in understanding this form of toxicity.
