Ultimately, the government itself can even establish vaccine production to distribute among the population if necessary.

- surgical_fire 10mo ago> Which part of "bribe the government" I read it. I just interpreted as "government icky" rhetoric that is very common around here. Corruption is a tool of any power structure. Gesturing vaguely towards it to invalidate any societal initiative is not an argument, it is just bad-faith whinging. "Why build roads? The government can be bribed" "Why trust the courts? The government can be bribed" "Wefare? The government can be bribed"
- qsera 10mo ago>is not an argument Can you clarify which argument of mine are you referring to here?
- lostlogin 10mo agoNot OP but I’d say that your argument sounds like the libertarian one whereby all government and all regulation is bad. If that is your position, point me towards a place where libertarianism has worked.
