Well, roughly half of land is arid and has no mosquitoes to speak of. And you know, animals and humans get by without those vaccinations.

- Balgair 9y agoWhat? I'm not understanding your reasoning here. The issue is not about land area, it's about fauna biomass location. Think more like this: https://static6.businessinsider.com/image/582c7dd8ba6eb69a018b4902-1200/but-many-of-those-blue-counties-contain-dense-cities-resizing-counties-by-population-it-becomes-a-little-clearer-why-clinton-is-likely-to-narrowly-win-the-popular-vote-but-lose-in-the-electoral-college.jpg https://static6.businessinsider.com/image/582c7dd8ba6eb69a01... On the vaccination issue, I encourage you to look up Jenner and his realization of the link between cowpox and smallpox. It's a good foundation for GP's idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jenner#Invention_of_the_vaccine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jenner#Invention_of_the... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1200696/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1200696/ I'm not certain of mosquito-per-fauna-biomass distributions, nor GP's thesis, but it's not a bad one overall and may have merit.
