Preventing climate change or even fighting its effects goes against a way of life people can't imagine giving up. It's a much harder sell. And people hope for solutions where they don't have to change their ways. So while vaccination has a known, cheap, and widely accepted solution, there is no such thing for climate change. There is no easy fix. It will cost us dearly, one way or another. The thing with vaccination is that it's a small thing that really improved our lives. It's what brings down child mortality a good notch with little effort. We can't allow misinforemd people to take this away from us. The parents that don't vaccinate their children not only endanger their children but other people as well. As long as we haven't eradicated a disease, we have to spend ressources on the vaccination. Success story: Polio 2 is eradicated. And there's only two countries (Afghanistan and Pakistan) where Polio is still endemic. Once these contries are clear, we'll be able to sunset Polio vaccination worldwide. So while I may deplore inactivity regarding climate change, I'm really happy we're eradicating diseases. And I'm happy people care about it.
