Re: Anti-vaxxers responsible for Outbreak
If the governments and medical industry cared one iota about reduction in Measles rather than making $billions from vaccines then they would have simply listened to the concerns of their "customers" and given them what they asked for, which is a single Measles vaccination.
Unfortunately the industry had a huge back stock of the controversial MMR vaccine (combined Measles, Mumps and Rubella) which a huge amount of its customer base did not want because of the concerns of autism and other awful side effects.
Sadly the industry was only concerned only about making its $billions and so largely removed the CHOICE of parents to have a single Measles (and other vaccines). Many parents rightly refused the MMR, taking agonising decisions to protect the health of their children in the face of outright denial and belligerent profiteering by the health industry.
Whether customers were correct in their concerns about the MMR vaccine or not is largely irrelevant. They are the customers here. When you remove FREE CHOICE from your customer base you alienate yourself as a seller and lose custom simple as.
The industry simply reaped what it sowed as a result.
In future the industry would do well to listen to its customer base and develop products that they actually want and that are properly tested, independently and proven to work, proven to protect and proven not to harm.
Unfortunately the situation appears to be that the relentless pursuit of profits in their $billions will continue to be the driving force rather than human health and so the Big Pharmaceuticals, far from offering choice, will continue to remove it and through lobbying and controlling government will ensure vaccination becomes mandatory.
One day there will be a reckoning of this entire industry and all the corrupt politicians who took part in the whole fiasco.
