Things haven't changed much since the 80s. My grandkids get pretty much the same vaccinations my kids got in the 80s. Very few new vaccines have cropped up since then. Since the 1960s though...> People are sicker than ever despite all these extra vaccines all the while drug companies are making record profits.

Really? When I was a kid, the only vaccination we got was for polio, which has been pretty much wiped out in developed countries due to vaccines. And I should mention that nobody makes money on polio vaccines, since Salk refused to patent the vaccine, which he saw as a public good. When I was a child, everyone got measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough, scarlet fever. Many children died from these. My father's heart was damaged from scarlet fever and he died in his fifties as a result. How many kids are born with birth defects today as a result of exposure to rubella? When was the last time you heard of a child dying from measles or mumps?
The meningitis vaccine, given to adolescents, has pretty much ended epidemics of meningitis in college dormitories that routinely killed about a quarter to a half of all those infected. Hepatitis A and B have been pretty much wiped out due to vaccinations. Meningitis and hepatitis vaccines, by the way, are not part of the regular vaccination schedule for children, but pediatricians encourage teenagers to get them.So where's your evidence for "people are sicker than ever.."? When I was young, kids were sick all the time with measles, mumps, chicken pox, the flu. My children and nieces and nephews and their friends were rarely sick as kids.
And vaccines are not the source of big profits for big pharma. Vaccines are a low margin product. There are plenty of problems with big pharma, but vaccines are pushed by public health officials, not drug companies.
So who's the sheep? I'm not the one bleating about unsubstantiated conspiracies by drug companies.
