Replying to the second paragraph you added after my reply:

Ontop of that, vaccines are a very strange thing to put in opposition to guns. I know what you’re trying for, but it is again based in ignorance. Vaccines are a universal good. There is a reason, a good reason, vaccines are required in order to go to schools. Whether the pharma industry works off of capitalistic practices is a wholly separate thing. Just because big pharma is a piece of shit capitalist enterprise should not reflect poorly on vaccines themselves.

What are you talking about? What does any of this have to do with the context where you're replying?

I am not OK with how my access to vaccines is unjustly restricted, putting me and my loved ones in senseless danger and violating our constitutional rights, because Democrats go along with Republicans on that whenever the money says so.
