When one makes profit from providing to others who are not compelled to use it a good or service they are not compelled to produce, the "profit" is pure goodness.
When the market for a thing exists solely through government action, compulsion, coercion, or cajoling, the same cannot be said.
But that is an aside. My comment simply pointed out the tautology that no entity involved in the vaccine food chain has any incentive to acknowledge the strong protection conferred by natural immunity.
If you are aware of such incentives, please point them out. If you are aware of big pharma executives pleading with governments not to create panic or use compulsion to increase the vaccination, please do point them out.
None of what I said is "right wing nonsense". Simply a sober look at the incentives faced by various entities who have full liability protection from the consequences of any decisions they make.

If you are aware of big pharma executives pleading with governments not to create panic or use compulsion to increase the vaccination, please do point them out. Are you for real? This is exactly what I'm talking about. "They didn't say anything against it therefore they are doing it. And show me that they did say something against it." Wow. Checkmate, round of applause. Nice zinger mate. I guess burden of proof is on the accused. I didn't get the memo about that. I would expect this sort of rhetoric elsewhere, but I figured HN was more level-headed. Honestly, go spread your FUD elsewhere. This is exactly why your opening comment was flagged. It's an open invitation for right-wing rhetoric that lacks any further thinking than "Well gee, the headline says they made $22B from the pandemic, I guess they must be filthy rich off of this!". Read a balance sheet. It will do you some good.
- nanis 5y agoAFAIK, Pfizer is actually mandating previously infected employees to get vaccinated. Not FUD. > "Well gee, the headline says they made $22B from the pandemic, I guess they must be filthy rich off of this!". There is a difference between having something to lose from acknowledging that previously infected individuals have strong protection against Covid19 and the way you make it sound. > Read a balance sheet. It will do you some good. I have. Some very deeply. Thank you very much for your concern.
