[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4638259, member: 63706"] Pops is assuming a viable vaccine will ever be created. We have been unsuccessful in the past with coronavirus vaccines, and should have learned from those lessons. The idea that we could develop a safe vaccine before the pandemic would have run its course is not based in any evidence at all. I can guarantee you a coronavirus related fund to help the vulnerable stay safe, and the poor to pay covid related medical bills would have been cheaper than the "stimulus" they gave to everyone, which wouldn't have been necessary if we hadn't locked down. As for profiting off immorality, that concept has no meaning if morality is relative. What it really means is that you don't like that people made money off of a situation that hurt a lot of people. If they hadn't, then the only ones who would have profited would have been the ones who created the problem, or had the power to stop it and didn't. It's a hard sell claiming opportunism as immoral when just about everything anyone does is opportunistic. The ones smart enough to take advantage of a situation they didn't create and couldn't stop should not bear any blame at all. [/QUOTE]
