working in this company in this industry, I was told years ago that there is an "intangible value" of vaccines: it was defined in this way by dr. Rino Rappuoli, and consists in the fact that vaccinations prevent disease, sequelae of varying severity and case fatality related to them, but none of it and can not touch ("inviolability") apparently, the benefit caused by them in the population. We have no cases, for example, polio, and then we can not immediately appreciate the fact that our son vaccinated, is immune. Not seeing more of these diseases, we do not realize the work of prevention implemented. When I go to a pediatric clinic, I always thought with pride that I see some of the children could not be there had it not been vaccinated against, say, meningitis or similar.
Pride to help you save a life.
Now I see that instead, for this company, the value of vaccines and scientific information relevant to them is very "tangible" and led by the same commercial logic of the hams and car.
From now on there will be fewer pediatricians who can talk, sometimes heatedly, whether to recommend a vaccine. Maybe you will not believe, think that companies seek only profit and will be tempted to think "the masses, but these vaccines have been useful only to those who produce them ...." returning to make considerations in years of work have contributed to diminish ...
thought to be important for the community where I live and work, I believed that vaccine manufacturers should look beyond profitability, I thought we had a mission, but apparently I was wrong: for those who remain in this company, the blow will be hard: we found that sell vaccines, ham or cars is the same thing.
