Ok I get that denial of science is a staple of chud’s fear of anything ivnvented past the year 1500 but I don’t understand how or why anyone can be against something as good at what they do as vaccines, like LOOK AT THIS SHIT
Vaccines are genuinely so fucking awesome, they represent both humanity’s incredible problem solving abilities and our innate desire to help other people, but they can’t be used to their fullest potential because dumbfucks who think freedom means they should be able to piss in the McDonalds ice cream machine are ruining it for everyone

Vaccines are great. I will not trust any vaccine made by a capitalist.

That doesn’t really apply to people who are opposed to vaccination as a concept though. I do feel like capitalism and the alienating material conditions it leaves people in are what foster antivax sentiment. People who see that their lives keep getting worse but don’t have the framework to explain why will exclusively blame the government because of free market brainrot and distrust anything the government does, even objectively helpful stuff like vaccination campaigns

With respect, history and science disagree.

“I will not trust any vaccine made by a capitalist” sounds like a satire of a left wing person. I can’t tell if you were making a joke or really hold an absurd position.
