cold and flu remedy profits

So, I keep seeing the same warning message daily on the Internet about Influenza outbreaks in my area. The lovely people at my local drugstore want to ensure that I am up to date on my vaccines so that I won’t need to buy any of their cold remedies. I guess they do not want to profit from the selling of drugs to everyone who is getting sick with colds and flu.

Influenza Outbreak Near You!

How much money do you think America’s 50,000 drugstores are taking in yearly in the way of cold and flu management drugs? The answer is over 11 billion dollars annually or nearly 1 billion dollars every month.

Capitalism in healthcare is nobody’s friend!

Why do people believe that Big Pharma corporations that are making a killing financially speaking by managing the symptoms associated with cold and influenza outbreaks are giving away free vaccine potions to paying customers that are designed, in theory, to stop the proliferation of these diseases (very lucrative intellectual properties)?

IT MUST BE FLU $EA$ON AGAIN!

**“Let’s get those free vaccines out there to everyone so that our drug profits can stop rolling in!”**

Is it remotely possible that the vaccines being doled out for free in drugstores every fall might be the causal factor responsible for the cold and Influenza outbreaks witnessed every winter for as many decades as we can remember?
