Pharmaceutical companies don't make squat on vaccines compared to what they make on the drugs to treat the illnesses vaccines help prevent.

[quote]Vaccines are created and tested by pharmaceutical companies, for-profit organizations that are designed to make money. Yet, the truth is that childhood vaccines are among the least profitable products for big pharma. These companies make the lion’s share of their profits by selling drugs that treat diseases and health conditions.

For example, sales of the Sovaldi drug for Hepatitis C — just one treatment by one pharmaceutical company for one disease sold almost entirely in the United States — exceeded more than $10 billion in one year. Annual sales for a drug like Viagra pull in close to $2 billion annually. The total pharmaceutical revenue in the US is a staggering $482 billion per year.

In comparison, the total revenue possible per year if all childhood vaccines were given to every child born in the US from their birth until 18 years of age would be only $8 billion - equal to only 1.7% of pharma sales. [b]So, even vaccinating every child with every vaccine to prevent multiple illnesses across the country would bring in less revenue than one single drug is capable of bringing in to treat a single infection in some people.
