Before everyone starts to freak out, I think an examination of the backstory needs to be looked at -

From what I understand, pharma companies were given certain lawsuit immunity regarding childhood vaccinations back in the 1980's. Pharma companies did not invest in new vaccines because of the liability and the lack of profit. From what I can ascertain, (don't quote me) the pharma companies told the government that they were not going to create new vaccines unless they received certain "protections". The government, afraid of the prospect of devastating, worldwide pandemics, caved into the pharmaceutical lobby pressure. Imho, the government caved and actually went overboard with a blanket immunity which has the potential to not properly protect or benefit the public.

To be fair, I believe that the government position was motivated, at least in part, by fear generated by the pharma lobby.

It's a complicated issue, with many aspects.

IMHO I think it’s because of the squalene which is suspected of causing Gulf War Syndrome.

Everything is complicated these days. What I see clearly, to cut to the chase and the quick, is a fascist leftist/Marxist government trying to force-feed us all a diet of government-controlled, nanny-state, ‘cradle to grave’ (emphasis on the grave part ala end of life counseling/death panels) healthcare... wherein they can also force us to accept vaccinations that may or may NOT be safe with no recourse but to suffer the unknown consequences, force us to take the insurance at penalty of fines and/or imprisonment, and force us to do any number of other, currently unknown or unlisted, government-mandated edicts.

Not so complicated, really.....when you look at things with unclouded (ie unliberal leftist) eyes.

My one big question is this. Why the HELL isn’t everybody speaking out, en masse, against this current fascist regime and its’ attempts to FORCE ‘supposedly free’ Americans to do ANYthing???

You’re exactly right. Vaccines are not very profitable to begin with, couple that with the liability/malpractice angle, and nobody wants to make them anymore. That’s not really the fault of “Big Pharma”. Those with long memories (not me) will remember that the first iterations of the Polio vaccine in the 50s had problems. I recall that somebody in the line at Ft. Dix, New Jersey dropped out of the line at the innoculations during basic training. Always wondered, never saw him again.. It sucks, they made us all take the Anthrax shot. Was a pincushion prior to that even!!
