Notice that supporting vaccines is not “aligning with pharma.” It’s aligning with public health. This is framing the antivaccine movement builds on, and I agree it can be effective, but that’s a reason to correct it, not embrace it.

Back in the 1980s, manufacturers were simply leaving the market. Most left. We were down to one DPT manufacturer before Congress acted. Leaving the market is not a fake action. Note that most have not come back. I really hope you read more about this history.
