If it was simply a money grab why would they offer vaccines at all?

At around $12/vaccine, wouldn't companies stand to gain more money by offering a flu treatment product instead of a flu prevention product?

Like I said, .. I have become so skeptical.
Again, if money was the pnly motive, isn't there more to be made by treating people longterm than treating them short term?

Short term chemo drugs versus chronic therapy for hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, coagulation disorders, autoimmune diseases and whatever else?

Many of these lifelong conditions often times go hand-in-hand and often times they require more than one medication. You have single patients buying multiple different medications for each of their multiple diseases.

They do but the company still paid for it. Mine was free as well this year and the free aspect brings up another reason as to why it's not simply a money grab. If companies are willing to take on that cost when they don't have to, they obviously see the benefit in it. If there were none, they wouldn't do that.

Essentially it's a big scheme (that likely doesn't account for a significant portion of the companies annual profits anyway) and it's established by the World Health Organization and world governments for the sole purpose of making private companies money.

Nothing is free.
1. Brandon Magee will beat out Ernie Sims for the backup WILL/MO roster spot.

2. Ron Leary will start at right guard over Bernadeau.

3. Joseph Randle, Terrance Williams and Gavin Escobar will have more combined TD's than DeMarco Murray, Miles Austin and Jason Witten.

4. Bruce Carter makes the Pro Bowl.

5. The starting OL will be Smith-Livings-Frederick-Leary-Free
