President Joe Biden said Friday that he is planning to request more money from Congress to develop another new coronavirus vaccine, as scientists track new waves and hospitalizations rise, though not like before

But were focusing only on vaccines and under capitalism i’m not so sure that our money is that effectively spent when transferred to pharma corporations. Isnt it insane that we’ve had three separate vaccines developed for the same virus when we really needed one?
Wait… so you’re saying scientific research into vaccines shouldn’t explore multiple avenues in case one is more effective than the others? Something you can’t do without funding?
Oh it should, but maybe under one organization, so we do not end up with one corporation undermining the effectiveness of the other simply for more profit.
Okay, but that’s just not how things work right now. That’s wishful thinking. Right now, the government funds private research. I don’t like it either, but that’s the way we will get future COVID vaccines.
