Drug companies have lots of ways to make big bucks. I happen to invest in pharms regularly--and I have to shake my head at the things that go on. For instance--just making a drug "long acting" can add bookoos bucks to the price. For instance--ambien went generic, so lunesta just reformulates to be longer acting. Big price difference. The answer to that is to make an investigation when you need a new med that is really pricey--you may find that your daughter's acne med is $7 instead of $400 dollars a month.

But it is a fool's nonsense to believe that there's plotting --to increase disease!!--your family is immensely benefited by vaccines. You just can't appreciate it because all that's left are the few failures in an immense population.

TB is making a comeback because we have an influx of untested illegal aliens.

As for the overuse of antibiotics, that's a fire we keep having to put out. Sometimes we go back and get the old meds and use them for awhile, in hopes that the new ones will come back strong. And the eeeeevil pharmeceudical companies have just come up with a hugely expensive antibiotic that may save your life.

Ahhh, so who cares about the effects on other people as long as it benefits your bottom line -
