- bpodgursky 5y agoUs free market people built the world's best vaccines. You're welcome.
- b0tzzzzzzman 5y agoThat so? Why was the definition changed after mRNA was being forced into people?
- bpodgursky 5y agoI oppose vaccine mandates yet believe, backed by good evidence, that the mRNA vaccines dominate any other COVID vaccine available. The two should not be related.
- b0tzzzzzzman 5y agoI can agree with you. I am not trying to press antivax or for vaccines. I am trying to highlight how terminology was changed to allow covid mRNA to qualify under the FDA. I also was taken aback by the full on defense of 'capitalism' as it relates to the covid shots. That was not a freemarket driven choice. It was paid for by the US government via tax payers. To conflate them because of social purpose, or whatever ideology people want is just wrong. They stand to make decades of profit and it wasn't some high moral road. It was only for money.
- b0tzzzzzzman 5y agoThanks for the reply, most just downvote me into nothing.
- jakeinspace 5y agoThat's not exactly true. Vaccines don't tend to be highly profitable, and R&D is often subsidized by the government. Salk's polio vaccine was developed in a university lab and never patented.
