    People are just in general too fucking stupid to keep two ideas in their head.

    1. Vaccines WORK and are a fucking miracle of modern science

    2. Pharmaceutical companies are fucking for profit and can be evil like any other mega corp

    Both can be true. The liberal hippies saw point 2 and jumped onto point point 1 as equally valid.

    Life is complicated, with competing interests everywhere and you have to be able think critically to navigate it. But, science literacy is so poor you have hippies trying to cure cancer with bathsalts and Republicans trying to cure covid by shoving bleach up their ass.

      Both are true
