That's about as much sense as your post made. Way to let everyone know you aren't reading their posts.

I am not "anti-vaccine" and I am not "attacking." For you to say that tells us all that you just have your button stuck on transmit and don't want to hear any nuanced discussion of this issue, for reasons that I can only speculate about.

I don't think public health agencies should OVER-PAY private Big Pharma companies for vaccines they created that don't do a thorough job to solve the problem and do not constitute an active "transmittable in the public square" public health threat. Let's see them make a frigging FLU SHOT that works for a change--they don't have that shit down, yet, do they?

Get off your best intentions, if you are sincere, and persuade Merck to make that vaccine you're saying you care about so much available as a public service at cost, and not at Extreme Profit. If you spent as much time decrying the way that pharmaceutical companies overcharge for years, change a formula just slightly to keep it under patent, and do all sorts of skeevy things to separate the public from their money for medicines, maybe I'd pay attention to your faux whines.

I'm not buying what you are selling.
