No Flu For You

Big Pharma has been pushing for this for a very long time. Mandatory vaccination everything.

If *they* get a flu shot because they think it works, why do the “theys” care whether or not you get one?

Recall the ‘chewing gum’ statement from Merck’s CEO Henry Gadsden, when he told Fortune magazine it was a shame that the company’s products could only be limited to “sick people.” As cited in the book “Selling Sickness: How the World’s Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies Are Turning Us All Into Patients” by Ray Moynihan and Alan Cassels (2006), that sits on my bookshelf:

Suggesting he’d rather Merck to be more like chewing gum maker Wrigley’s, Gadsden said it had long been his dream to make drugs for healthy people. Because then, Merck would be able to “sell to everyone.”
