Believe me, Big Pharma has more and bigger things to make money on than vaccines. Anyone who really believes Big Pharma would drop everything it was doing to go and make vaccine just does not understand how drug companies make their money today. Druf companies see vaccine production as a necessary evil; a component of what they do, but not nearly as profitable as making and selling drugs dealing with everything from erectile dysfunction to hair loss.
In fact, accusing drug makers of profiting unnecessarily from vaccine production may actually cause drug makers to forego vaccine production in the future. Now some, including those misguided but WRONG individuals who think vaccines cause autism, might rejoice in that thought. But the simple truth is that drug companies see vaccine production as an important public health duty. And accusing them of orchestrating an overly aggressive response to a flu pandemic is placing blame in the wrong place.
