For starters, they're all different and time-sensitive. IE, you can't test a flu vaccine for three years because you need a different one every year. For another, the profits on them are miniscule compared to other drugs, which makes it harder to justify a long, expensive, trial. Personally I'm really bothered that viox and bextra were taken off the market. I understand that it increased the potential of heart attacks and strokes by some 2-3 times among people taking it long term. However, I can easily see that that's an acceptable proposition to some people. If you're crippled by arthritis but can live a nearly normal life with bextra it's probably worth 3X the chance of having a heart attack. And they were great inflamation reducers for those with temporary problems that wouldn't be taking it long term.

From what I've read the risk to profit ratio is is so low that big pharma is not interested. Vaccines apparently aren't very profitable. http://www.altcorp.com/DentalInformation/vaccinelawsuits.htm Quote towards the end. http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/nationworld/v-lite/story/5336156p-4832504c.html Zeke Yewdall wrote: >Yet they are already being sued over drugs like vioxx.

If vaccines are big business being forced on us for profit, then why does no one want to actually make them. Last year, less than half of the people in the US who wanted to get flu vaccines couldn't even get them, because there was only one or two companies who produced them, and one got shut down. Wouldn't the big drug companies be falling over themselves to get into this business if there was any money to be made in it? Vaccinating someone only gets you $5, once a year for flu, or maybe $60 once every 10 years for other stuff. Better to sell them fancy patented drugs for $80 a month...

[Biofuel] Bob Allen -Other Vaccines during WWI - THE 1918 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
"THE 1918 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC WAS A VACCINE-CAUSED DISEASE E. McBean (Vaccination The Silent Killer p28) Very few people realize that the worst epidemic ever to hit America, the Spanish Influenza of 1918 was the after effect of the massive nation-wide vaccine campaign. .. If we check back in history to that 1918 flu period, we will see that it suddenly struck just after the end of World War I when our soldiers were returning home from overseas. That was the first war in which all the known vaccines were forced on all the servicemen. This mish-mash of poison drugs and putrid protein of which the vaccines were composed, caused such widespread disease and death among the soldiers that it was the common talk of the day, that more of our men were being killed by medical shots than by enemy shots from guns. Thousands were invalided home or to military hospitals, as hopeless wrecks, before they ever saw a day of battle. The death and disease rate among the vaccinated soldiers was four times higher than among the unvaccinated civilians. But this did not stop the vaccine promoters. Vaccine has always been big business, and so it was continued doggedly." * from my research Vaccines in use during WWI Besides smallpox vaccine, there is a history of typhoid vaccines, plague vaccines, diphtheria, rabies vaccine, tetanus antitoxin http://www.who.int/vaccines-diseases/history/history.shtml # 1885 Rabies # 1897 Plague http://www.worldpsychology.net/World%20Psychology/OriginalCorePages/marriage 8.htm 1895 Diptheria vaccination program begins. Over the period lasting until 1907, 63,249 cases of diptheria were treated with anti-toxin. Over 8,900 died, giving a fatality rate of 14%. Over the same period, 11,716 cases were not treated with anti-toxin, of which 703 died, giving a fatality rate of 6%. 1919 Diptheria vaccinations injure 60 and kill 10 in Texas. http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2003/05/08/story265526733.asp But US Army records show that seven men dropped dead after being vaccinated. A report from US Secretary of War Henry L Stimson not only verified these deaths but also stated that there had been 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis as a direct result of yellow fever vaccination during only six months of the war. That was only one of the 14 to 25 shots given to recruits. Army records also reveal that after vaccination became compulsory in the US Army in 1911, not only did typhoid increase rapidly but all other vaccinal diseases increased at an alarming rate. After America entered the war in 1917, the death rate from typhoid vaccination rose to the highest point in the history of the US Army. The deaths occurred after the shots were given in sanitary American hospitals and well-supervised army camps in France, where sanitation had been practised for years.

The current battle is not new, having had a lengthy foreshadowing during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Over a 30-year period, a concerted effort to limit the use of smallpox vaccine grew at the very time typhoid vaccines were being developed and advocated for widespread prevention. As a long time advocate for widespread smallpox vaccination and a supporter of the newly tested typhoid vaccine, Sir William Osler entered the public debate at the beginning of World War I.
