“Big pharma does not profit from vaccines.”
LOL.
New flu vaccines offer extra protection - and more profits ( http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/19/us-flu-vaccines-idUSBRE98I0M720130919 )

Merck & Co, Inc.: Big Pharma Checkup for 2014 ( http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/01/15/merck-co-inc-big-pharma-checkup-for-2014.aspx ). An excerpt from this one: During Merck’s presentation at the recent JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in January, a lot of attention focused on growing areas of Merck’s business, including vaccines, immunology, emerging markets, and diabetes. The fastest growing of those four has been vaccines, with sales growing 15% year-to-date through September from 2012. That lift has come in large part thanks to higher sales of Gardasil, which produced revenue of $1.4 billion in the first three quarters of 2013, up from $1.2 billion a year ago.
This list could go on and on and on and on.
I am wondering if you actually believe what you posted or have some other motive for posting it.
I believe they were talking about traditional vaccines and not the newer or constantly updated(flu) ones. Vaccines such as MMR, polio, and pertussis aren’t cash grabs.
