If you believe that then please answer the question I've asked of anti-vaxxers for many years and have never gotten a satisfactory response, or any, for that matter: If doctors and "bigpharma" were only interested in profiting at the expense of our children, why don't they forgo the vaccines and simply supply new, nasty meds to treat all the diseases that would make a comeback?
Sure is a whole lot of pressure to get shots these days.. how did we live before kids were required to get 10 shots a year per visit.
Many people didn't. Are you saying infant and child mortality rates were not higher 50 years ago than they are now?

Posted once today but I’ll post it again in answer to your question:
Infant mortality has risen in the US. In 1960, America ranked 12th in infant mortality among all nations of the world. By 2005, we ranked 30th.

I doubt that ANY response would be satisfactory to you but I’ll take a stab at it. Perhaps there is more profit in treating children who become sick after vaccinations. Not that there’s much that can be done in the very serious cases, but why should that prevent them from making the public believe they have the answer? Do people not need the pediatricians to treat the allergies, asthma, ADD, ADHD (that’s only the “A’s”) and many other ailments that are epidemic today?
Your question would also imply that vaccines are cheap! I think you’ll find that is simply not the case.
Do you think pediatricians believe 100% in childhood or any other vaccine? If that was true, don’t you think they’d be willing to sign a statement accepting liability for damage done to a child? Why does the parent have to sign a statement authorizing a vaccine?
My complaint and others here today about profiting from vaccines was directed at the pharmaceutical industry - not the doctors - and the politicians who are bought and paid for by them.
By the way, are you going to volunteer your kids or grandkids for the Anthrax vaccine testing for children?
All I am saying is I am highly suspicious of the hype machine behind Vaccines. The need for this boat load of shots is highly questionable.. but once again who makes the money? Big Pharma.
The amount of shots they want to give children these days boggles the mind. I got perhaps one shot a year when I was a kid.. now I am hearing from friends that its 10 a year if you are lucky. Mortality rate or not, that is someone pushing fear to make money.
