I've Developed a Cure for Everything!

Once upon a time...
Behold my mighty CURE! This will ensure people around the world never go ill!
Capitalism: So how much are you going to sell that for?
Me: "It's a cure that will benefit all humanity! Why would I want money over helping my fellow humans?
C: "That's bad. That's socialism. Besides, do you really want to die poor?
M: "I'm going to die whether rich or poor, I might as well help as many of my fellow humans as I can while I can."
C: *whistles to attract mega corporations who proceed to patent my cure and not only leave me penniless but also ensures it's either hidden or sold only to the rich* "Now, if you'd only done it my way from the start, all this nastiness could have been avoided."
That's the trouble with capitalism, the only question it can answer is how to make money off of something. It cares not about human suffering, nor helping others. People will say things like "well, without money, people couldn't research to start with". This is technically true, but that doesn't mean that something saving human lives ought to be sold to the highest bidder. If you're wondering, I am referencing what happened to the price of insulin. I foresee it happening with the COVID vaccine too, if it hasn't already.
You can't be moral and put money before people. Human lives are priceless. As soon as you start ensuring those lives must pay an outrageous fee or end, you've chosen money over people. To be frank I feel that, if you're religious, you've also chosen money over God.

these aberrant, seemingly self-destructive behaviours: who will these moneyed people get to perform all these menial jobs, if the working [poor] are all killed off due to said-Lack of Access?
they really reckon other moneyed people will-all agree to volunteer to be the new work•horses, to be treated like shit?
