INCOHERENCE OF ANTIVAXXERS The way the mkt system works is by converting BENIGN greed into collective benefits (A. Smith). So it is central to distinguish betw. benign & harmful greed (Monsanto). Saying "Pharma is greedy" is uninformative: pharma saves lives via vaxx (for now). — PolitiTweet.org

2) As I explained in #SkinInTheGame, he way greed is converted into virtue is via RULES. So there must be rules otherwise we fall into mafia-style anarchy. — PolitiTweet.org
