In other words: you don't want to admit that almost completely eradicating Polio was a good thing.

Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/031116_Dr...#ixzz1M1xa4grU Did you read the article? Is Measles a dangerous disease in the US? It wasn't in the 50s. Certainly almost everyone who died from measles in the 50s would have been saved today with 50 years of advances in medical treatment and diet knowledge. |

VACCINES are the continuing success story, earning over $27 billion in 2009 alone, despite difficult economic times for the pharmaceutical industry. By 2012, vaccines are expected to bring in more than $35 billion in revenue.

What does diet knowledge have to do with the Measles?
And what do profits have to do with this? Would you think that vaccines were safe if no one ever made money off of them? |

Economically speaking vaccines have low elasticity. That means that the normal supply and demand rules don't apply because people need it no matter how cash-strapped they are or how expensive it is.
The same applies to insulin.

Here's a link that seems to confirm Clayton's claim that pharmaceutical companies want to profit from vaccines:

There were no large scale studies.
Did you know vaccine "testing" of vaccines is done only on healthy children? And that 60% of children are not considered healthy enough to participate. Which is super scary in that almost all children will be required to receive the vaccine.

Indeed,
Very wrong. All the studies there are significantly larger than the one mentioned in Clayton Moore's article. They also involved examining whether there was any increase in autism from MMR after the introduction of the jab, so the idea that the children were recruited for a vaccine study is nonsense. |

That just means everyone got the same regimen of vaccines and some, I think 1 out 110 is the latest number, are stricken with autism. |

All 3 of my children, and all of the children in their age cohorts that we know from school and extracurricular activities received "multiple vaccine inoculation" including the dreaded MMR. NONE of my kids or their age cohort buddies have autism.
None. I believe, and this is a positive belief so you should approve, that the odds of a child being exposed to communicable disease in modern society is 100%. With vaccines I get to prevent the worst of those from coming home. I also believe in going shopping whenever I feel a cold or flu coming on. Sharing the misery makes me happy and I believe I'm doing society a service by allowing everyone to develop antibodies before the virus mutates again. Belief is not knowledge. You have a "belief" about vaccines, but doctors and scientists have knowledge. Thanks, I'll trust knowledge over belief every time. |

I'm glad for you. If you've gotten the drift of my posts I'm not against vaccines I'm against the obvious overload of vaccines into immature immune systems.
I've rarely read of anyone and I've never known anyone who died or was debilitated for life from any of the "childhood" diseases such as mumps, measles, and chicken pox. 1 of 110 children are diagnosed as autistic. A simple study of children who don't get vaccines and their autism numbers would settle the issue. It would be historical data so no child would be endangered. |

See the link I posted above.
The second study (the one released in 1998, the same year as Wakefield's rubbish) was in Sweden, and looked at autism rates pre-MMR and post-MMR and found no change at all. Using thousands and thousands of children. There you go...job done. |

Your "information" is rubbish; a mix of long debunked misinformation, distortions and outright lies. Perhaps if you tried more reputable sources you might find something closer to reality.
Oh and you still haven't answered any of the points I mentioned. But hey that's normal for woosters. Would these "Vaccine Profiteers" include the same Wakefield embraced by anti-vax woosters? The one who patented a single dose measles vaccine that had no market until false doubt was spread about MMR? |

... ignoring the teeny tiny fact that "... (MMR) vaccines do not and never did contain thimerosal. Varicella (chickenpox), inactivated polio (IPV), and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have also never contained thimerosal." Not to mention that the last lots of childhood vaccine to use thimerosal expired in January 2003 -- tell us all: what has happened to ASD rates since then? Well, as of 2009 the rate had doubled over 2003's numbers. . |

What does it matter if it is profitable?
You what's also profitable? Building MRI machines! Do you think they'll kill you? You know what else is profitable? Building elevators or lifts! Do you avoid them? If you spend your life avoiding anything built or made for profit you'll end up in a cave. |

I hate Crohn's disease. It is an evil soul destroying force. If Crohn's disease was a person, I would wish Crohn's disease on him. He'd deserve it.
My sister, my father and my aunt have Crohn's. And I can say with absolute certainty that you don't know a damn thing about it. Between my mom, dad, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 4 aunts, 4 uncles and 19 cousins however, all but one of us have been properly vaccinated and only three have Crohn's. There goes your theory. This is what NOT vaccinating babies does to them. I know you don't care Clayton, because that child isn't white. But for those of us who do care, no child of any skin color will ever suffer like that again because of vaccines. Suck it down, mein herr. |

OK, let's look at these:
Intercell - Makes vaccines, but none of them seem to be for children Nabi - They make nicotine addiction fighting stuff Biosante - The only vaccine they make fights cancer GlobeImmune - Most of their products are for fighting cancer and hepatitis, although they do seem to have a product for fighting influenza in the research stage. Novavax - These guys make vaccines for h1n1, the flu, and are working on Herpes and HIV Syntiron - Their vaccines seem to be for fighting bacterial infections Bavarian-Nordic - Makes vaccines for Smallpox and HPV. Medicago - Vaccines for H1n1. Influenza and h5n1 Merck- makes vaccines. So does GSK Vaxinnate- Makes influenza vaccines So this big conference seems to mostly include pharma companies that produce or develop vaccines for rather adult conditions. I stand by my statement. |
