Anthrax and Free Markets

(For some reason a linked video below autostarts wen you come to this page, scroll down to see if you want to watch it, if not hit stop button.  The proceed.)

Now we return to the blog:

See this is how America works.  Extremely dangerous bugs are created in the lab, so bad sometimes they kill the scientists.  Then they get to work on vaccinations to cure the disease they created.  And they poorly manage this expensive vaccination, or maybe not.  A shortage means huge profits when a disaster strikes.  Vaccinations are dangerous in their own right.

Wouldn't you love to have the taxpayers pay for the State to create problems you can profitably solve because you have a monopoly on the solution?

At the same time, cures are available in nature.  But natural cures cannot be patented (yet) and are easily  reproduced for quick and decentralized production and distribution.  No great profits there, only cures.

But once capitalism is admitted, then profits trump all, based on a distorted view of wealth and the term interest, "a right to a profit"  (In its distorted form.).

We need a free market in medicine.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
