Oil and gas is obviously for profit, yet it heats our homes and prevents us from exposure. Pharmaceuticals are the same way, they are for profit, but at the same time they provide us with medication that is potentially lifesaving and can prevent a lot of heartbreak and suffering.
I don't believe that there are any kickbacks regarding vaccinations or any other medications in Canada.

I don't think big pharm has any sales reps either. And if they did they would only promote their product in an ethical manner like every other privately owned company I am sure.
