Dominant Social Theme: Another noble cause advanced by vaccines .
Free-Market Analysis: We continue to grow more skeptical of these universal vaccine campaigns. Knowing what we think we do about the power elite , it is highly unlikely that these global campaigns are being offered without ulterior motives.
So, it is overly convenient that the only way diseases can be “wiped out” is via enormous public works campaigns.
What we have at the beginning of the 21st century is a dominant social theme stating that global applications of vaccine programs are in the best interests of all human beings. A subdominant theme would be that those involved in these campaigns are admirable people and that individuals like Bill Gates are most admirable of all – because he is doing the most in this regard.
It is, from our perspective, part of a larger consensus built around gates with his acquiescence. He has been left alone by the powers-that-be after being harshly attacked for being a monopolist and was actually found guilty. The pressure placed on what Gates to conform to larger power elite programs and we believe he has responded.
