Then why the fuck do vaccines exist?
They can sell me a single shot against tetanus, pertussis and diphtheria for about 50 bucks.
OR, I can get tetanus, a disease that quotes 3 or 4 weeks of muscle relaxants, painkillers, and a shitload of immunoglobulin costing thousands. That's followed by possibly months of therapy.
Treating unvaccinated tetanus costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Getting a vaccine is 50 bucks.
Nobody here benefits, except for me, of course.
