Imagine you have a business which has a world wide customer base worth over $50 billion a year and has products which are recommended by governmental authorities (in some cases legally required). Imagine you have 255 potential new customers appearing every minute. “Old vaccines have been reformulated with higher costs. New ones have entered the market at once-unthinkable prices. Together, since 1986, they have pushed up the average cost to fully vaccinate a child with private insurance to the age of 18 to $2,192 from $100, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/03/health/Vaccine-Costs-Soaring-Paying-Till-It-Hurts.html Pharma companies will say or do anything to protect this business. Pfizer spends $11.4 million purely on lobbying in the USA. Is it any wonder how vaccination is now legally enforced in many countries? It is clear that reducing poverty, increasing sanitation, supplying fresh water, better diet and better basic health services are far more important than vaccination in reducing mortality rates of infectious diseases.
