Why is there so much unopposed anti vaccine sentiment on the right? Why can't pharma companies fund guys like Ben Shapiro and fellow travellers to praise the vaccine?

    "Consumption" of vaccines isn't in their interest.

    "Selling" the vaccines is. And since the US government heavily subsidizes vaccine research, production, and distribution regardless of how many vaccines end up in a person the companies who were a part of those areas has already gotten their payday.

    It would be different if the companies got paid per vaccine actively used in a human being.

      I meant general consumption of goods and services which I'm assuming can't begin to get back to normal until every one is vaccinated

        Ah... okay then... there are other comments in this thread talking about how that class, while having solidarity with each other when there is a threat from the lower classes, have no problems fucking each other over for their own gain. There comments probably address that.
