Maher doesn&#x27;t say that vaccines are bad.  He&#x27;s saying that not all vaccines are good, and that Merck has discovered that it&#x27;s a new stream of profits by convincing doctors that everyone should take vaccines for low-risk diseases.<p>So there&#x27;s a difference, and I agree with him.  I vaccinated my kids, and I even take the flu shot because my kids are still young.  But given the fact that the flu vaccines is sometimes less than 50% effective some years especially in the years when it&#x27;s a new strain, it&#x27;s mostly an enormous waste of money that is going into the pockets of the drug companies.  They have marketed the idea and created vaccine militants when practically it&#x27;s not effective.  If you even dare to say you don&#x27;t want to take a flu-shot, you&#x27;re labeled as an anti-vaxxer kook, basically exactly what you did.
