I would feel alot more confident in the industry's assurances of the safety and efficacy of their vaccines if it wasn't true that the pharmaceutical companies get buckets of cash for every vaccine that gets world-wide (or even just country-wide) approval. Schools are now telling parents that their children are required to get a vaccine for a relatively harmless disease in order to attend school. Why? Follow the cash flow. Every day that a child is home ill is a day in which that parent is not productive.

I agree. What's worse than chickenpox is the hepatitis B vaccine story: they want ALL of out kids vaccinated when the high-risk group is mainly male homosexuals and IV drug users (sound familiar?).
