Not really communist BeardTube (not to be confused with anarchist BreadTube), but I thought it was worth a repost (I started it recently and will finish within the next hour).

Do you all feel this is accurate? Or too conspiracist in content or rhetoric?
I think it’s a top notch video. My only critique is that he should’ve mentioned the contributions of socialist countries more. They’ve developed several of their own vaccines and are taking action to vaccinate the global south in spite of Big Pharma’s vice grip on patents.
I agree, and good point.
Can you distill some of his points? The video is too long and he talks slowly. Plus Br*tish.
He is saying that the elimination of Covid-19 is disproportionate and doesn’t favor the regions most at risk… which, to be fair, is pretty simple, though to be fair, he spends a lot of time making his case with statistics and what-not, though… I admit that I kept skipping through.
The last thing for-profit healtcare cares about is health so it isn’t conspiratorial to suggest that. Pharma companies are not the sole culprit in this because other businesses have also done their very best to make sure that people communicate this disease to each other by forcing them to come to work and so on. If the pandemic was completely contained, they would have been able to sell the vaccine to one person once. Now this person is going to buy one or two booster shots every year, which is a win for them. There is profit in selling the vaccine, not in eradicating the disease.
Not sure what he says in the video but this is the gist of it.
Ah, gotcha, yeah, you make sense here. I just feel that the video is long-winded.
