Ideally, all medicine would be open source. It would make it easier to study and increase collaboration.

This is actually one of the many arguments communists make, that without competition, many sectors would be free to open their research to everyone. Instead of two, three or four companies (like vaccine companies) working to create the same product to rival each other, they could all work together and use the same manpower share their research.

That being said, it's not. Thus, sure, I'll use proprietary medicine.

If Windows was the only operating system out there, I'd probably be using it. But it's not.

Similarly, lets say there was a vaccine created by a state ran non-profit institution who released all of their research, I'd likely take it instead of the proprietary one.

But I guess some professionals use iMac computers. I heard they're good for making music and doing graphics. So it's not just windows, I misspoke. Windows is just for real work like selling cars and running prisons. What is Linux good for, downloading pictures of anime children to beat off to? Cuz it seems like that's the only thing you creeps use your computers for.
