OK, so it's taken me a while to work out the motivation for the American anti-vaxxer movement - the American health "care" industry makes far more money from treating a person with a disease than from just selling them a dose of vaccine.
Which has let me to wonder: are there other areas of preventative medicine which the American health "care" industry fights against, because cure (or, indeed, failed attempt to cure) makes more money than prevention? Is it for example the health "care" industry which is behind the drive to reduce food safety?
