What is truly stupid about SELLING vaccines is that a major benefit of vaccination is to the OTHER people around you. It is a classic example of a PUBLIC good.

They should be free.
We can afford to do that.
We can afford to make most medical care free.

We're choosing not to, and for dumb, self-destructive reasons.

"Free with most insurance" is NOT *free*, BTW.

Not unless EVERYONE -- particularly the poor, who are more subject than anyone else to be non-consensually crowded into spaces where diseases can easily spread -- has that insurance.
