Unfortunately, it's rubbish.
The cost of the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine program was $100m. Not exactly "billions", is it? But then why let the facts get in the way of an obtuse rant?
As for profits, donations etc from vaccines and pharmaceutical companies. Maybe a little perspective is in order:
I have no big love or hate of pharma companies. Like any corporation, they are amoral.
A quick search through the AEC donations database showed no donations to any Australian party by the four biggest vaccine manufacturers, being Merck, GSK, Sanofi and CSL. I didn't look beyond them, but feel free to check for yourself. http://periodicdisclosures.aec.gov.au/
Vaccines are not particularly profitable for pharma companies. Merck, the world's largest producer of vaccines, makes more profit selling a single drug (eg a cholesterol medication) than they do for their entire vaccine range. And it's not hard to see why. Most vaccines are a few doses per person over their entire lifetime. But get someone on your cholesterol medication, and you could sell them a tablet every day for the rest of their lives. I'm sure you don't have to be a brain surgeon to work out what makes more money.
The stats for those graphs come from the compulsory reportable diseases database, reported by doctors and hospitals across the country. However, in the case of measles, again you don't have to be too bright to see the difference since the vaccine was introduced.
When I was at school in the 70s, almost every kid got measles. Now, no-one does. I haven't seen anyone with measles for well over a decade. How about you?
