Well an X-Box can't kill you but a vaccine can so maybe if the pharmaceuticals shouldn't make a product that they can't stand behind. I just read on the CDC website that mercury isn't harmful in vaccines well that is an outright lie mercury is very dangerous. Mercury is such a highly reactive toxic agent that it is difficult to identify its specific mechanism of damage, and much remains unknown about the mechanism.[11] It damages the central nervous system, endocrine system, kidneys, and other organs, and adversely affects the mouth, gums, and teeth. Exposure over long periods of time or heavy exposure to mercury vapor can result in brain damage and ultimately death. Mercury and its compounds are particularly toxic to fetuses and infants. Women who have been exposed to mercury in pregnancy have sometimes given birth to children with serious birth defects (see Minamata disease). Mercury exposure in young children can have severe neurological consequences, preventing nerve sheaths from forming properly. Mercury inhibits the formation of myelin. So can you tell me why the CDC says pregnant women need the vaccine and not to worry about the mercury it won't hurt them or the baby. With outright lies like that it's no wonder why they won't take responsibility for their product.

Let me explain it to you another way. Microsoft makes the X-Box which it sells a a loss (when are vaccines sold at a loss) then Microsoft makes an assload of money selling games for the X-Box. At the end of the year Microsoft has a huge profit. Now by your logic the government should take money from taxpayers to give to Microsoft so they don't lose money on producing the X-Box hardware. The huge profits the company makes is irrelevant and why not go all the way and mandate that all Americans must buy an X-Box.

Add to that the fact that vaccines are a low margin product - per the supply/demand curve. Really? Didn't the government award contracts to the makers of the swine flu virus worth billions? How is there a low profit margin? Especially when drug companies have no liability for their product? How many other industries are exempt from liability by the government?
