Yup, I know it's a provax sight, but they are talking about multiple surveys sent to practitioners to find out if they are making money, losing money or breaking even, regarding childhood vaccines. What percent of drs are not ordering them or giving them. What insurances make a difference. From the couple links I clicked on-summary was majority were not making money on them.

I'm wondering where they sent these surveys to, because the info seems contradictory to all those peds out there pushing vaxes. Or, maybe that's why some peds are going along with parents who don't want to vax or only selective vax?
Or maybe more and more drs are coming around to not vaxing?

From what I can acertain, vaccines are lucrative for the companies that produce them, but not so much for the peds. there are P4P programs in some states that reward individual practices for have 100% of their clientele vaccinated, but I'm not sure exactly how much $ they are being given. I think the majority of peds push vaccines because they believe in them and do not think they are harmful. They have been educated and indoctrinated with this information and are spoonfed it on a daily basis from big Pharma.
