In a few words....they are driven purely by profit motive, and unfortunately that doesn't always line up with what is best for people/society/whatever you want to call the greater social imperative. It is all about sales and profits....check your conscience at the door when you show up at work. Been there, seen it first hand.
For example, why on earth would you give a baby a Hep B vaccine? By the time the child is old enough to benefit (eg. age of being sexually active), the vaccine benefit has long worn off.
Here is a quote straight off google search:
"For Children and Adolescents. All children should get their first dose of hepatitis B vaccine at birth and complete the vaccine series by 6-18 months old. Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all babies so that they will be protected from a serious but preventable disease."
I find it really sad that society has accepted this crap for all these years. It is even sadder that people (employees, contractors, etc...) have taken the big salaries and huge bonus cheques to market, promote and lobby for this sort of nonsense.
With the huge profit margins, and the tremendous growth opportunity for any vaccine that is developed, one can understand why the big pharma companies have pushed this line. It is much more profitable these days than developing new drugs.
As an aside, I've also seen first-hand how they twist the results of their vaccine research to "support" their results. Simply disgusting. But that is a story for another day.
