The comments following ugh

That's quite the incentive for me to get in the lab & create the vaccine. I must give it away? Or did you mean the government should pay for it, so it's free to the citizens? Which means it isn't free cuz the government doesn't have any money unless they get it from us.

Reminder that Jonas Salk specifically did not patent his polio vaccine to ensure it would be available to everyone and that this has led to polio not being a thing anymore in the developed world.

The comments have a point, most clinical researchers get into that line of work to strike it rich.

Yeah. It's in literally everyone(except pharmaceuticals) interests to have free vaccines. Less illness increases the productivity on the economy and lessens strain on the houseland budget

For fuck's sake. Insurance companies have already said that coronavirus treatment will be covered without copay, voluntarily. Because even the most money hungry industry in the country realizes they can't gouge people who are DEAD.

This is spot on. Bernie needs to stop using the word 'free' when referring to things that are government-funded. It's a straight up lie.

Honestly patenting a vaccine(Or any essential medication) should be a crime against humanity.

Vaccines are for all.
