Documents Show Merck Paid This Popular Website $3.5 Million Dollars for Promoting Vaccines
CONCLUSION
The pharmaceutical company pockets run deep. When analyzed, you can see how much influence their money can buy.
Parents want strong children and honest answers. Do you really think Merck invested all of this money to educate you about vaccines or to sell their product? I will leave you to be the judge of that important question.
Lastly, as new documents become available, my hope is that parents will start to see how Big Pharma runs their operations: spending their cash to buy influence. Maybe vaccine safety does have a price tag.
