    You're not known for your thoughtful and probing questions, but this one takes the cake, at least for now.

    No, I'm not a communist. In fact I'm very much in favor of capitalism and have been one all of my life.

    To specify, responsible and conscientious capitalism.

    I oppose capitalism without conscience, and capitalism that evolves into fascism when run by men of no conscience.

    Capitalism without conscience could easily describe what we have today in this country, especially with Pharma.

    Man I certainly hope not. The more available tests became, the worse the pandemic became. We don’t want that to be the case with vaccine availability!

    How is that "not relevant". "What should Trump do that Obama did do"

    Not lie is the most adequate answer. It would have saved tens of thousands of lives. There are many other things that he could have done. But, in my opinion, this could be the single thing that would have saved the most lives. The "culture" of trying to hide the pandemic from people is what, I believe, caused the most avoidable loss of life.

    Any other question?

    Hold on... "conscience"? "Conscience" of what?

    Are you sure that you are not promoting communism? I've heard about people who are sort of "closet communists". These are people who carry communist beliefs but don't realize it. It looks to me like you're saying that you consider "profits" a bad thing... but not so bad so long as they feel "guilty".

    If profits are not a "bad thing", in your opinion, what would "conscience" have to do with it?
