Please.
I am hardly a nanny stating troll, despite your use of Ad Hominem.
There are exceptions to the rule, and Jesus answer to the question of “who is my neighbor” compels us today to help people (even a Samaritan) regardless of their ability to help themselves.
Adam Smith wrote a two-part work, one on Capitalism and the other on The Theory of Moral Sentiments. He stated that Capitalism is the way to go 9and it is), but it must be balanced out with morality.
The “need” you speak of for pharmaceutical companies to freely develop and give away can only come about how?
That’s right - by governmental force. Or by the government acquiring those vacines and giving them out like EBT cards.
You intentions “might” be noble here in stopping Ebola. But your end-game of “Big Brother must save us” is a liberal failure.
How the Frick could Adam smith have said that about “Capitalism”?! that concept was invented by Marx...
Adam Smith

Karl wasnt even born until 1880...
Just to be clear, Jesus did ask ‘who is the neighbor’ but he did not compel the Samaritan to take care of or to pay for the injured man. The Samaritan did it of his own free will. Compelling charity is not charity it is tyranny as we have in this country now. Our biggest problem in this country of trying to get vaccines to magically appear is the trial lawyer who constantly sue manufacturers out of business. We have so politicized the healthcare industry and it is now high risk just to take care of someone. The hospital in Dallas that treated Ebola patient is probably going to be sued out of business. The innkeeper who took care of the injured man in the ‘good Samaritan’ story would today would soon be closed. Well, what are we going to do when hospitals and healthcare workers refuse to take on high risk patients in the future?
