The problem with measles parties is that measles cause long term damage and not the delibirate infection.
If mild common cold can make you immune to covid19, delibirate infections may be a much more efficient way to achieve herd immunity than a propiatary vaccine.
- ithkuil 6y agoIs the fact that the vaccine is "proprietary" relevant to the efficacy? Would a non proprietary vaccine be ok?
- mola 6y agoOf course, less money (no patents, etc), less interests and less non relevant choices being made (e.g buying endless supply of quinine because something) . Heck if actual mild cold could cause mass immunity, the cold virus is it's own distribution mechanism. No need for all the syringes and other logistics. Of course this is all hand waving, but the point is we shouldn't automatically think that a man made vaccine is a much better solution.
- ithkuil 6y ago> we shouldn't automatically think Ah yes, we surely shouldn't automatically about anything. We should use reason and data.
- mola 6y agoWe should, we don't. There are great forces working on making you think certain ways by emphasizing certain data, and push messages that promote certain reason making. The more money is at stake the greater force is applied. The last few years have proven what a devastating effect it had on our ability to discuss and think reasonably about anything.
