    Hell yeah. I wish I'd thought of that the other night when my friend was arguing that the vaccine rollout could only have happened so quickly under capitalism. Obviously that's a stupid argument... The Moderna vaccine was produced from 100% public funded research and capitalism incentivizes the companies to not share their best practices with each other... But I kind of blanked on real life examples.

      lmao, the vaccine rollout only even needed to happen so quickly because capitalism fucked up the response from the very beginning

        Also true. And because capitalism relies on getting people vaccinated to continue their wage slavery.
