16. Well the profit for pharma from vaccines is just a bunch of hooey

let me see. 10 bucks for the MMR, or a million for a kid in ICU, who remains blind after measles. Or worst, dies after 2 weeks of the ICU.

If you are into the profit, what do you think is far more profitable? The ICU or the 10 bucks for the jab? Think hard about that one.

Also injuries from vaccines could be just having a tad more of a fever from the flu shot, and yes I could have applied to the committee... do you really think that me having to take two more tylenol and feeling run over for a day really qualified for that fund? I am sure some folks would file though, because well.

Oh and public health is partially education, but partially mandates.

One reason why Americans have become stupid regarding vaccines is that they do not see this often.



Yup that kid is blind from measles.



and we certainly are not seeing this anymore


Or this

Isn't polio fun?



Whooping cough, that baby is truly having a grand old time.

Spare me the rest by the way. I have like zero tolerance or patience for people who even make the argument that public health should not be mandated.
