Vaccines are big business. Pharma is a trillion dollar industry () with vaccines accounting for $25 billion in annual sales. () CDC’s decision to add a vaccine to the schedule can guarantee its manufacturer millions of customers and billions in revenue () with minimal advertising or marketing costs and complete immunity from lawsuits. High stakes and the seamless marriage between Big Pharma and government agencies have spawned an opaque and crooked regulatory system. Merck, one of America’s leading vaccine outfits, is currently under criminal investigation for fraudulently deceiving FDA regulators about the effectiveness of its MMR vaccine. Two whistleblowers say Merck ginned up sham studies to maintain Merck’s MMR monopoly. ()
Big money has fueled the exponential expansion of CDC’s vaccine schedule since 1988, when Congress’ grant of immunity from lawsuits () suddenly transformed vaccines into paydirt. CDC recommended five pediatric vaccines when I was a boy in 1954. Today’s children cannot attend school without at least 56 doses of 14 vaccines by the time they’re 18. ()
An insatiable pharmaceutical industry has 271 new vaccines under development in CDC’s bureaucratic pipeline () in hopes of boosting vaccine revenues to $100 billion by 2025. ()The industry’s principle spokesperson, Dr. Paul Offit, says that he believes children can take as many as 10,000 vaccines. ()
Big Pharma is among the nation’s largest political donors giving $31 million last year to national political candidates. () It spends more on political lobbying than any other industry, $3.0 billion from 1998 to 2014 () – double the amount spent by oil and gas and four times as much as defense and aerospace lobbyists. () By February, state legislators in 36 states were pushing through over one hundred new laws to end philosophical and religious vaccine exemptions. Many of those state lawmakers are also on the industry payroll. () You can see how much money bill sponsors from your state took from Big Pharma on http://www.maplight.org.
Normally plaintiffs’ tort lawyers would provide a powerful check and balance to keep vaccines safe and effective and regulators and policymakers honest. But Pharma’s dirty money has brought the industry immunity from lawsuits for vaccine injury no matter how dangerous the product. An obliging Congress disposed of the Seventh Amendment right to jury trial making it impossible for vaccine injured plaintiffs to sue pharmaceutical companies for selling unsafe vaccines. () That’s right! No Class Actions. No discovery. No depositions and little financial incentive for the industry to make vaccines safer.
