With the number of cases so far being so low, and selling vaccines for all children, it would seem like they are making much more money vaccinating than not at least while the number of cases is low. Not to argue that preventive medicine is bad (far from it), but from a business perspective it's lucrative as can be. mbers are a strong argument in favor of your side of the debate I concede. The argument I made though was to say that measles was at a point encouraged to be contracted sooner than later due to more risk of death in adulthood. Same for chicken pox, though chicken pox was very rare in adults. My mom got it during pregnancy.

At a point when there was no alternative. You share a house with someone who has measles, you have an approximately 9/10 chance of catching it and according to the above statistics and in the appopriate conditions, 1/10 die.
Better early than late, perhaps, but at what cost and why now would we suffer that cost when there is an alternative?
