Moon, the problem with your capitalist approach ( the pharma funding the entire cost ) is that at the end of development and testing you have a medicine/vaccine that is so expensive initially that few can afford them. Even our NHS cannot afford some cancer treatments that cost thousands per month.
Yes I know. I was being sarcastic.
It's my approach to dealing with the constant ridiculous political conversations everyone throws at me. You should see the looks on people's faces when I say "I think we should abolish Social Security".
And when their jaw drops, I follow with "hell yeah man, just let it all burn down! Survival of the fittest!"
Actually, I guess the deal with the vaccines in the U.S. really isn't either "ism", it's more if a "Frankinism"... perhaps that's why U.A. and Fred don't want one?
Oh well. It is what it is. I just like pointing out the fact that basically everyone is a hypocrite... [0]

Nah, actually I don't go to parties. (I never get invited *shrugs*)
But the evidence seems to indicate that every single individual American wants the government to work for themselves.. and that individual alone... nobody else, just number one. [0]
And for God's sake don't say anything that could be deemed offensive, and since that's basically everything, then it seems we're best served to keep as quiet as possible...
...but so far we can still laugh at the situation, so have at it.
