In terms of your comment "people working at Merck or Sanofi don't have kids, families, or friends of their own" - they likely do have family and friends; HOWEVER, those "loved ones" may be advised against vaccinating themselves and their children. I once read something written by a former pharma employee that said his children had received saline injections...although their vaccine records were noted for the "mandatory" vaccines.
We've discussed this before - I know Sheldon and I have. But, here - I'll do it again. Pharma employees have families to support. They know we have no social safety net in the U.S. Few are willing to walk away from well-paying jobs, much less become whistle blowers - when poverty may be their only reward. I'm not judging these people - only sharing probable "motivation". People will do lots of questionable (and "bad") things when they are desperate enough.
