And BTW, I meant “sell” papers, magazines, advertizing, air time, etc. Making money. I was not implying they are hyping to get people to vacinate.
Well, media hyping is done for more than money - of all businesses, the media business is the most firmly entrenched in political effect for everything it does. And passing a law indemnifying flu vaccine manufacturers while "coincidentally" hyping a flu hardly requires rocket science to connect the two dots. So I don't see how media hyping through, for example, hypothetical ruminations of lack of medical... technology... can be disconnected from vaccine availability, or the legal compulsion that would be required to make coverage "effective."
