    I wish more people understood that the root of Andrew Wakefield’s bullshit was a desire to undermine competitors.

    It was capitalist line-go-up fuckery that got us in this mess. And maybe if we had some actual democratic oversight of these pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers and had some fucking socialism we would have nipped this shit in the bud.

    But no, this whole thing, in a pure case of jokerfication , is because we didn’t have the vaccine of socialism to prevent it.
