Quick thought, my father is a (medical) doctor so I know somewhat the subject. Old medication does not produce big money. If I am in the business and want big money I need some shiny new medication. Shiny, new and untested or tested during a couple of years is best, old and thoroughly tested is bad because in terms of risk it is conservative and stops science to involve, it would also lead some pharmaceutical companies to bankruptcy.
The human body is full of disease, incapable to recover naturally with old medication therefore for a cancer or similar disease we don't need to stop smoking for example, we need surgery.
Now I think everyone should make their own opinion and I am pro-whatever-people-want (even war, chemical products in Vietnam or nuclear bomb, I believe I cannot oppose it just can merely influence friends).
So to sum up, although I am an extreme minority, and everyone will oppose that after watching the TV, humans can heal naturally without the need of the last best-in-class and industry-grade medication, vaccines are socially deeply accepted therefore opposing it is seen as an heresy and the scientific aspect is almost undisputable, even though from a scientific perspective we should be able to question it. So bottom line, vaccine are more of a social and economic tool rather than scientific tool, medical science is influenced by financial interests, and state sponsored medical checkups are also based on political and economic incentives, not on science.
Example based on a true story which I think is quite telling for the whole medical industry: I am in good shape, 65-70kg for 1m70, doing sports everyday and still I have been diagnosed with obesity and not doing sport by doctors after a mandatory medical checkup... My coworker called them to ask on what basis I was diagnosed with obesity, and someone else asked me if they didn't confused muscles with fat. Medical checkups are state sponsored so didn't lose my time to complain but even for a simple medical checkup, wasn't there some incentive to sell something?
The financial aspect is the part that's hard to unsee once you see it. Many of these interventions seem to primarily benefit Big Pharma, rather than the kids receiving the interventions.
I remember someone pointing at that Michael Jordan, in the prime of his career, met the criteria for "obese". So, you're in ok company it seems.
