Something that I find quite telling about the true effectiveness of socialism when it comes to supporting the general welfare is how most wealth, socialist nations utterly failed to quickly vaccinate their populations against COVID. As most people know, the Pfizer, Moderna, etc. vaccine patents are not being enforced by the companies, meaning any country with vaccine manufacturing capabilities can make them.
What are socialist countries like France, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, etc. doing? Having to get doses from countries like the US and India.
However, we have all been taught that socialist governments were the best at preparing their countries for situations like this. Why doesn't every socialist country have a vaccine program for such situations? We are told time and time again that evil capitalism doesn't care about people, yet here we are, with the 2nd highest vaccination rates in the developed world. Food for thought...
