if this vaccine works as advertised then it will save lives.

And whose doing the advertising? Merck. Conflict of interest anyone?

I do agree with you there. It seems to be a huge conflict of interest that a drug company can lobby the government to put their drug on a vaccination list.

To be fair though, I can understand it too. Vaccination drugs are tricky for drug companies because they can cost billions in R&D and then if they work, all of the socialists in the world want them given away for free.
