Can't read it, but it sounds like a play on "There are no atheists in foxholes.", a subtle attempt to claim that because socialism is good during a pandemic, it's good all of the time.

I don't have a strong opinion on socialism per se, but I am against sneaky rhetoric.


Socialism is when private companies offer more benefits?


Except the fact that the best way to create a vaccine is through capitalism.


You're going to have to include more of your reasoning than that.


No contradiction there. You can have both systems at the same time.


Remdesvir too.


a lot of government money goes into vaccine creation.

EDIT: socialism and capitalism are not mutually exclusive
