There are a number of issues with the approaches suggested by the author. In particular they’ve suggested an attenuated strain be spread by something similar to Pox Parties. Many might find these suggestions misguided and dangerous...
- danieltillett 6y agoI have not suggested that "pox party" spread would be a good idea, just that it would be hard to stop if a natural attenuated strain was found and that this would influence the way the regulatory agencies viewed its licensing. This is not really relevant to the idea of using an attenuated strain to accelerate the development of other vaccines. This would be done under controlled conditions where the attenuated strain would not spread.
