they claimed...that Big Pharma used vaccines to make money, at the expense of people's health.

I see this all the time with vaccine sceptics and I mean, yeah... Can't we unite on the fact that vaccines should be public and not some private investment

funny thing is pharma would never make vaccines if it not for subsidies by the govt, its just not profitable to them.

it is crazy how close they are to understanding the toxicity of capitalism, but they stop at the last moment to scapegoat someone else.

it's not the Billionaires who are dangerous, it's the one Jewish billionaire

it's not there banks who are toxic, it's the Jewish bankers

it's not capitalism that prioritises profits over health, it's just the vaccine

I'm still pissed how the COVID vaccine (and practically every medication) was researched a d developed with public funds, but the patent is owned by private companies.

The public paid for it, it should belong to the people.

There's just more and more of this lately. We give money to the govt, they fork it over to some company, they use money to make a product I have to pay for, again.

Sorry that's just fucking dumb. Don't bail companies out or give huge grants, make them compete for contracts and have the people own a portion to reduce cost to the US consumer. It's socialism, sure. But at least we'd come out ahead instead of getting hosed again.

It's socialism, sure.

Well, the US definition maybe.

We need to stop calling them skeptics. That's not what this is.

I mean to these people see children as kind of like a numbers game so give it a year or two and they'll just keep popping out more children and rolling around the floor, talking in tongues praising Jesus.

Caption: Judy said her family hasn’t got the MMR vaccine because they ‘don’t like the things in it’

I will cut off my left testicle and eat it for breakfast if Judy can name one ingredient in the MMR vaccine.
