If there was not huge profit to be made from vaccination would we be given so many.?

maybe

If vaccinations are so profitable, why is there a shortage of shingles vaccine?

Because there's a lot of different kinds microorganisms that can cause disease.

I'd rather be protected. There's no denying the benefits of vaccinations.

Yes because it is not really about money. It is about producing a weakened slave class who can be ruled with ease.

how do you make a profit from something they give out for free

So we don't have to spend billions on treating people once they get infected.

I know it's had to believe but aside from America most other first world nation's take pre-emptive action to save money.

On a side note, vaccinations can be profitable however, the overhead costs are large. There is no assurances if you spend the money you will find a viable vaccine.

There is actually a lot of profit in vaccinations.

If you are less likely to contract illnesses because you are vaccinated then in the long run, throughout your life, the healthcare system isn't as taxed as much, less beds, medicine and manpower used because you weren't sick from a preventable disease. A bed for just one night is in the order of tens of thousands of dollars. A vaccination might be $100 at most for some obscure ones made in small quantities , but the majority are just a few dollars when mass-produced.

So it makes a lot of sense to routinely vaccinate. It saves a lot of money.

Yes. In most civilised countries healthcare is subsidised and almost everyone gets inoculated to prevent the spread of unpleasant and potentially fatal diseases. The National Health Service here in Britain wants to save money wherever it can but it still gives out free vaccinations for the good of public health.

Maybe. Probably not in America where money is God.
