I get the vibe “lefty memes” is a misnomer, and an actual progressive like me won’t be accepted here, so I’ve never tried posting anything in here yet - but everywhere else I’ve posted this so far has hated it, so I’m trying here now.
I made this meme because I noticed parallels in how Republicans and Democrats coordinate to block access to guns and vaccines, violating my rights and putting me and my loved ones in senseless danger.
I’m not quite ready to give up on finding a community where people like this meme. I know it’s actually one of my most well-crafted ones yet, no matter what some people say.

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


Definitely enlightened but I’d also definitely say I’m extremist, not centrist
if you have to tell people that you’re enlightened, you ain’t
also why have you picked vaccines in particular. maybe you wanted to express something else more clearly? there’s no money in vaccines to such degree that western pharma companies don’t want to research them, and bulk of (non-mRNA) vaccines are made in Serum Institute of India, they make this stuff for half of the world if not more. this thing is cheeaap, and because it’s a preventive one and done you can take it on your own terms, you’re not under time pressure to get it so you can shop around to get it cheaply. you can’t nickel and dime people on vaccines
now if you do want to nickel and dime a patient, you’d need something that they’re gonna need forever and jack up prices or just keep them high from day one, like with antiretrovirals or what purdue pharma did or like with daraprim. and then there’s entirely another very american problem of insurance leech layer. taking a very charitable look at it maybe you want to say a thing about availability of american healthcare in general, less charitably, and more likely, you sound like a libertarian antivaxxer
Incorrect.
You then spent the rest of the comment building up to calling me an antivaxxer, while you block my access to vaccines.
I’m glad I skimmed your comment instead of reading it, but still, what a waste of time
