Depends how deep down the rabbit hole I go, but Hib, Pc, and DTaP(not pediarix) had the best returns on investment from my calculations. That was based on giving clinical data a lot of weight and assuming chronic illnesses like peanut allergies and autism having nothing to do with vaccines. I probably won't vaccinate future children at all.
Measles is a minor disease that affects so few people it's like winning the disease Powerball to get measles. Not worth worrying about that one. Plus mmr is the most parents think led to developmental regression so you have to assume they're all wrong to consider it.

If you had socialized healthcare you wouldn't be so beholden to Big Pharma

That would further guarantee their risk-free profits.

How?

Then they only have to convince one buyer. I certainly factored in the cost when deciding which vaccines are worth the cost and risk to give my child.

Out of interest, which vaccines were worth the cost to your child?
My vaccinations were free when I was a kid.

Well, I hope your children don't die of measles or any other preventable illness. Godspeed.

I wonder why so few people are affected by measles... Hmm. I will have to go to bed and ponder it.

It's been eradicated in the USA partially by vaccination.
