You are all over the road today. Did you take your Ritalin?

First you make a decidedly Socialist argument that Ebola vaccines must be given away. You know that means the government will enforce that.

Then you bring up the teachings of Christ. Liberals love to argue that Christ meant the State should “feed the poor”, etc.

Now you are arguing Adam Smith and Capitalsim. Honestly, I have no clue where you want to go with this.

What’s next? The Flying Spaghetti Monster’s views on Ebola Vaccines?

You sure sound like Jesus. Hardly, in fact, given the first line of your post. Will you act like that when you stand before Him? I hope not...

You essentially argue that I am conflating things that are disparate when they are not.

Jesus never argued in favor of Socialism, but He did say that we must help out those who cannot help themselves.

Secondly, Adam Smith said that Capitalism must be anchored to morality, and I see no where in the scriptures where Jesus would disagree with that.

Last of all, there is nothing keeping owners and shareholders in taking an approach to profit (in some cases like this) that lines up with the Jewish man helping the Samaritan.
