Why did the Left Socialists support vaccine

[georgegeorgia]

I really can't work out why the Left wing socialists supported the covid vaccinations 

They used to protest and call the right wing Covid deniers !

 

I'm wondering why a political movement that's is against Capitalism Pharmaceutical company supported Pfizer ?

 

Got me stumped ?

Now if that was the right wing fascists I would understand but it's not...the left wing woke socialists supported the Vaccine!!!!!!!

 

You 'd think it would be the other way around..the Greens Socialists would support the Non Vaccination of people but....nope....

 

The Greens.. Socialists ..left wing ..whatever you want to call them supported vaccines & isolation

I think some Left-wing people think that we should try to halt the spread of disease for the greater good.  Even if you don’t directly benefit, we are all better off for motorcycle helmets, and the almost-elimination of polio.

There’s not many people that say “maybe I should’ve worn a helmet”, but there’s plenty that say “I’m glad I was wearing my helmet”. You can’t really rely on individuals to make sensible decisions about risk and public health.

And any other time the Left wing is against Government.

Protesting against Authority....but not against the Covid Vaccine !!

Very strange indeed

Like the government, the opposition very occasionally show common sense.  When the government and the opposition are in agreement, then you need to really think quite hard about whether they might be right.

I noticed this left/right divide during the pandemic as well, with the left being fanatical proponents of masks, vaccines an curfews. Whereas the right refused to wear masks, use vaccines and found the curfews intolerable.

 

It is symptomatic of leftist philosophy, if you think about it the leftists believe they are smarter than everyone else and their great genius is to put their brains to the use of the lucky majority, hence we should pay taxes to benefit everyone, use vaccines and wear masks, because the leftists, and they alone, know what's best for us, thanks to their superior thinking. Then of course there is an innate trust and reflex to obey the government and trust politicians, which leftists have. To all our great detriment, since the curfews cost the world billions and ruined many people. All for nothng, as it turned out. And not a single politicians was called to account.

Yes but the Capitalist companies such as Pfizer benefit 

 

The leftists supported the Government they supposed to rebel against 

Hardly a Rebellious group anymore

This is not strange. Idiotic men from the US will fight to the end against "the vaccine" yet they will have long relinquished their sexual rights. It's not ok for the government to push for covid vaccination but it's ok for a man to go to jail if he says to a woman in the street "I give you one hundred and we have some fun in bed together".

Any idea what the reason is?

Because with a common vax like the flu vaccine, nobody goes around saying (or maybe bragging):

 

I didn't get the vaccine and I DIDN'T DIE.
