This seems to be the cornerstone conspiracy theory these days. It's based on the idea that vaccines are profitable, which they historically have not been. They're still not in most countries. In the US their cost has been steadily rising, but that has everything to do with the awful health care system here and nothing to do with the nature of vaccines, as the cost of everything has been rising. Insofar as vaccines bring in a profit to Big Pharma, it's estimated to be less than 2% of their total revenues, which is statistically insignificant. It sounds like a lot if you quote the dollar amount, but to these companies it's the equivalent of the change you find when you clean the sofa. In fact there are far fewer companies making vaccines than there used to be, since in today's increasingly capitalistic health care market it's just not considered to be worth the cost.
The actual clinics on the ground typically lose money on vaccinations, or if they're lucky they break even. There is zero incentive for people on the ground to participate in this hypothetical conspiracy, even if one did believe that people were capable of keeping up a quasi-supernatural degree of illusionism for so long and over such a wide range of the population, which they're not.
But you probably think the moon landing was faked and 9/11 was an inside job. Conspiracy theorists will believe anything as long as 1) there's no evidence for it and 2) it makes them feel like they're in on a big secret that nobody else knows.
