Instead, we as a society could save a lot of money by eating anti-parasitical drugs that don't work[1], or by getting sick, and potentially hospitalized for COVID. (Because even a brief a hospital stay won't trivially run into $XY(Z),000 billing. [2])
[1] And are, uh, also made by Big Pharma.
[2] Much of it also going to, of course, Big Pharma.
Its also worth noting Pfizer is making a killing. Google Pfizer profits 2021. They have something like 90% growth at the moment.
I would say Big Pharma 100% has an agenda to push. They want you to take their drugs so they make money (like any company). In this case its a vaccine. They don't care if you have had covid they want the money.
However in my opinion this is not some new behavior. This is exactly how they have always acted. Look at the opioid crisis.
I can even see the US government being paid off by Big Pharma to implement mandates solely to leech tax/insurance money off.
But every single developed country, many with government-funded healthcare where they have no interest in throwing away money on something that doesn't work, many a higher level of democracy and high government trust, not a single one of them questioning this and skipping it? That's where the conspiracy gets too big and hard to believe.
Studies, many of which are absolutely useless, pounded out by the hundreds of thousand over the past 2 years in the name of moral good and saving lives.
Constant hypocrisy from certain protests being good for health, to football games not. From no links between lockdowns to case?death counts. Constant promotion of cloth masks, with lack of evidence, rather evidence against present.

The NBA is 95% vaccinated and players are exerting themselves greatly whenever on the court without a mask. Go back to the bench and put on a mask.
One more sale for Big Pharma.
That creating vaccines which require 6monthly-1yearly boosters that every must take creates a new, lucrative revenue stream for Big Phrama and a conflict of interest, even when the initial vaccines may be cheap (e.g. Immunity as a Service).
Though, I admit it had triggered a small, gamer part of me that wanted to get the completionist award for filling every slot.
