I'd like to see the pro-vaccine crowd take up another issue: health professionals prescribing antibiotics for anything and everything, which has the effect of quietly creating antibiotic-resistance bacterias. That is a lot more serious of an issue, IMO.
(Oh and also people not taking their antibiotics the way they're supposed to deserve some share of the blame, but let's be honest, you probably shouldn't be taking antibiotics for a common cold or undetermined illness in the first place.)
I mean if we're really concerned about infectious diseases and public safety then all y'all better start grinding that axe with a health industry that treats antibiotics like they're some kind of OTC candy and are thus creating a serious risk to our health.
But such an effort would only underscore another one of the industry's unsafe practices and also threaten pharma's bottom line so oh no don't count on that mon ami. They need their profit, and more importantly their credibility, intact for the con to work.
