paralysis...nice deflection, though.
Your attitude toward vaccination is fundamentally anti-social...the vaccines were 95% effective against infection at the very beginning...had everyone lined up for shots, we would have stopped the spread and had one heck of a lot fewer deaths and hospitalizations...but no...way too many folks didn't care about anyone else but themselves and we ended up with "Delta"..."Omicron", and who knows what else might be brewing.
As for pharmaceutical companies...so long as they don't treat pricing of the vaccines like they do with insulin, I'm okay with them profiting off their outstanding contributions to public health.
