Who else can't wait to participate in the vaccine lottery?

    because this way they can prioritize poor people from those groups into the first mass doses and see if it's really a problem without having to wait for actual approval.

      This makes no sense. Health personnel is being prioritised, not "poor people".

        Obviously I meant the first group that's being prioritized out of the general pop.

          ...which is super old people. Like, do you seriously think they'll just say "we're starting to vaccinate people, but you can only get the vaccine if you make less than 1000k per month!"? That's such a weird way to view how capitalism works lol. If anyone is excluded in any country it's gonna be the opposite, you'll have to pay for the vaccine.

            Using oppressed to test out sketchy medical treatments is a time honored American tradition.

                Because this isn't the Tuskeegee experiment, they're not trying to give people syphilis, and he linked to a literal antivax conspiracy website?

                I googled the people instead of the site and they're all anti-vax nutters, so fair enough on downvotes.

              Which part of "it's literally already being announced who is getting the vaccine first and it's literally already been tested on tens of thousands of people" do you find hard to figure out? The issue is EXACTLY the opposite, poor people potentially not having access.

                There are a bunch of problems, and I don't really want to get into an argument because I feel like we're on totally different tracks here.

                Take a look at the article (which I hope is BS but it's unsettling).

                  Good job linking to an article by people who literally belong to a shitty anti vax non profit (not anti-covid vax, anti vax in general) that also panics about the new world order and Bill Gates using brain mapping on their children or whatever the fuck!

                  A bunch of problems like what? There have been two vaccines which may be responsible for severe adverse reactions, the Johnson and Johnson one and the AstraZeneca one. NOT Moderna, or Pfizer, or Sputnik V, or Sinovac. Regardless of what you may have read in weird antivaxxer websites. And again, I can't stress this enough, it's literally already been tested on tens of thousands of people, and the first groups to be vaccinated have already began to be vaccinated, and it's not "poor people" or whatever dumb shit, if there is an issue, the issue is going to be poor communities not gaining access to the vaccine, which is exactly what happens all the fucking time.

                    Like it's expensive, hard to refrigerate, and getting enough doses is going to take a ridiculous amount of time. Distributing the thing is going to be a massive headache.

                    Would you calm down?

                    Okay, it seemed reasonably well written and had sources that don't seem insane so I linked it. There is nothing in the article about gates beyond mentioning the foundation plays a key role.

                    Feel free to tell me more about this thing and why I shouldn't believe them.
