Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here

Red pill:
Let people who pretend to know nothing about vaccines decide who can get what vaccines
Blue pill:
Let people who pretend to know nothing about guns decide who can get what guns
Red pill:
Let the weapon industry dictate gun policy
Blue pill:
Let big pharma dictate vaccine policy
Yeah, it would be good if at least one of the two parties wasn't just "the corporatist party"
Well in that case, the image is based on the false dichotomy that doesn't exist of the parties' policies. Most dems don't want to remove all guns. They just want to keep guns out of crazies' hands and some want to limit availability of particular things so any subsequent mass shooter has a harder time just endlessly popping off shots like the Vegas shooter... They do not fail to understand guns.
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.
It seems like your edit after my reply was intentionally designed to make me look anti-vaccines or something?
And you got upvotes while my thread went from overall positive score to me getting buried in downvotes - that seems like maybe it was because of you making people think I was against vaccines or whatever you're implying here
~~How the fuck can you people sleep at night while treating others like this?~~
The edit was to cover an additional point I noticed. Why are you reading so much into it? You're being downvoted because you've put an attempt at a political meme into a science sub, expecting a science community to agree with politically charged topics.
Now you're jumping to conclusions about why, because surely most people don't disagree with you!
Just chill out dude. You'll have a much better time here and IRL.
I really wouldn't be surprised if the reason it went from above 5 to below minus 5 was because your edit made me look anti vaxx, even if you didn't do that on purpose (I edit comments a lot too so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that)
