    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.
