• BillBC yesterday: now that the COVID-19 vaccines are a patented for-profit venture in the UK (quit pretending otherwise) we acknowledge the prior round of doses wasn't quite effective, but now we have 60 million new doses and we want everyone to trust us again... to eradicate this thing. Will they be worth trusting? Boy cried wolf 3 times (doses).    

posted Tuesday, August 16, 2022 at 04:52:42

• People become cynical when 1) the vaccines are patented 2) the doses are a for-profit business (returning customers) and 3) the products are marketed in the media by shareholders in the companies, NOT doctors (e.g. Bill Gates)
