    Disperal and the development. Moderna alone received almost $1B of taxpayer funding for the development of their vaccine. That alone makes it hilarious that Moderna calls it "their" vaccine.

    Bitch, we paid for you to develop it. It's the peoples fuckin vaccine.

    Uhm... the virus has mutated since then... the reason it is spreading as it has, is because people didn’t give a shit about others. I can’t force you to wear a mask or stay 6 feet from me...

    Are you even aware that with this selfish attitude of yours, everyone including yourself has to pay more than is needed?

    And the multiple other strains, some of which are proving more viral and deadly, come because people can't follow basic fucking guidance to wear masks and socially distance. That's a people problem, their behaviors helped cause these mutations and their continued behavior is causing them to spread beyond their original countries of origin.

    This is a massive failure of imagination.

    The part about the lab is telling, that when he means pay for others, he sees it as punishment for an action. Unless a corporation zaps you with a cancer gun, there is nothing to punish, thus they shouldn’t pay. The outcome of their actions is not punishable with paying for it, without intent to do harm.

    It's not about cost it's about living in an ethical society where people voluntarily pay for other people's medical costs instead of being forced to do so against their will.

    You see letting people die from curable disease, as ethical?

    This is how insurance works, my dude. It's how car insurance works. It's how life insurance works. It's how flood insurance works. It's how fire insurance works. It's how pet insurance works. It's literally how the entire insurance industry functions my bro.

    And man, an ethical society where poor people are just like, free to suffer and die of illness because they're poor. Truly an enlightened one, that society.

    If roads were private, you would have none. Well, maybe some paved ones from and to private airports so that the rich can ride more comfortably to their private jets, everyone else, nope, none of that. Just tollbooths on beaten tracks with roadside ditches or boulders on the sides so you can't leave them when you feel like it.

    If it’s not to live in a society with other people, why even be part of society?

    So you're being forced to live in such a country?

    Letting people go bankrupt or die because of their medical needs is ethical?

    No that's why people should volunteer to help. Having a disease is not an excuse to coerce anyone into curing your disease unless they specifically forced the disease on to you.

    If no one volunteers, then you think money is worth more than life?

    If you don’t want to live in a society, no one forces you to do so.

    Man, in your world polio and smallpox would still be running wild and killing thousands/millions every year. Truly, an enlightened world.

    You're just trying to work your way back around to "taxation is theft", which is such a ragingly dishonest argument it deserves nothing but mockery and condemnation. Only the lunatic fringe believe that kind of thing; it's right up there with chemtrails and ancient aliens for "what the living fuck are you even thinking".

    I assume that's up to Bill Gates. If one is to argue that not paying gfor another's treatment is causing harm, then literally everyone who doesn't pay the tax that pays for that... is causing harm.

    I simply disagree with such a mentality. I don't see how that fits the definition of harm.

    To be fair that sounds like most libertarians that argues pointless points "just because." And reading the above posts..yep.
    I'm not the one who is hung up on the idea tha liberty is a terrible thing.

    No force is being used.

    So, the people who aren't paying are harming others?

    Very interesting...
