    Where the hell is big pharma on this one. I can’t imagine this is good for stock price

    You’re not thinking like a psychopathic pharmaceutical exec: vaccines cure people for life instead of creating a lifelong dependency on drugs to survive.

    vaccines are not good for the bottom line. I’m pretty sure the pharma industry absolutely loves RFK Jr.

      There will still be significant demand for childhood vaccines among people who aren’t vapid dipshits, and the price per dose will likely go up because people will be more desperate for them when all the outbreaks happen. Look at the demand for measles vaccines right now. 15 years ago, parents were like “Oh, yeah, I guess the kids probably need a booster maybe.” Now, those parents are like “Oh fuck, we need a measles booster because vapid dipshits are trying to kill everyone!”

        But without FDA approval, you can’t sell any vaccines. This is a direct attack on the health of US citizens.

          Except that’s not what they’re doing here. That might be the next step, but this is just reevaluating the recommended schedule of vaccines for children and adults. They are going to make it optional, and parents won’t be forced to vaccinate their kids to send them to public school. Most people will still get their kids vaccinated, but some communities won’t reach herd immunity levels and children will die.

      Nah, you aren’t thinking big picture enough. A person is ONLY valuable if they reach adulthood with chronic conditions. They need their customers to survive childhood.

        I mean, that’s everyone involved in this administration. The decisions they’ve made will have screwed over generations to come and the total productivity of this country has been shot to hell.

        There is no way to look at any of these decisions in a good way.

        Oh idk about that… parents are willing to pay an awful lot in treatment in hopes of keeping their kid alive…

        I think they need both, short and long term profits, you know?
