wait, is "covid is a ploy to transfer wealth to the companies providing a vaccine against the greatest global pandemic in a century" an actual anti-vax talking point?
Vaccines do not pay for themselves. The proposed tax is literally about paying for the vaccines. So you're literally talking about giving out corporate welfare. Want to silence this talking point? Abandon the effort to tax people to pay for the vaccine and obtain them purely at-cost so Moderna, et al. are unable to use "the greatest global pandemic in a century" to make a mint. I mean, if this is really about getting the vaccine out then you should have no problem backing a proposal like that... RIGHT?
There. Saved everyone a read.
