I don't think it's a stretch to believe that for BigPharma, profits come first. And always keep in mind that they are immune from prosecution if you have a reaction to the vaccine. Nice work if you can get it!

For those of you who do not understand the science behind what is going on, you might want to consider trusting a professional on this stuff.

I'm glad you brought that up. My answer is this: until there is a real study, and by real I mean one that compares a vaccinated group against a non-vaccinated group, I will continue to be skeptical of the "science."

There is a reason most doctors get their own kids vaccinated, and it's not to make a few bucks!

Aside from stories that HMO doctors get financial bonuses for how many kids they vaccinate, what do you think those "well" baby visits are for? They center around the vaccine schedule for infants.

Strangely enough, if you take your kid to a family doctor rather than a pediatrician, they aren't as concerned or aren't concerned at all about whether or not your kid is vaccinated. Could it be because that's not their bread-and-butter? Or is it just that pediatricians are soooo much more altruistic than general practitioners?

I have HMO insurance, but I also see a doctor who doesn't take insurance. I wonder if it's a coincidence that he has NO BigPharma posters, pens, cups, etc. etc. in his office, and he is against vaccinations.

The HMO docs always have the BigPharma goodies.

And strangely.....they are the ones who are really interested in prescribing you meds, often the ones that are featured in the posters, paper pads, and coffee cups.

Oh, but that's got to be a coincidence, right?
