We don't have vaccinations for the millions of pathogens you encounter on a daily basis. Just the ones that are deadly. No immune system can fight some pathogens. You have gotten lucky so far.
Not to mention that while some viruses may not affect you, that doesn't mean you aren't spreading them on to other people that may die from them.
Vaccination is as much a community issue as a personal one.
- LinuxBender 6y agoSo when Covid-23 is released in March [1], will we lock down all the economies again for 1 - 3 years and work on another vaccine? Will we focus on getting better at making vaccines faster? Seems like a losing battle strategy to me. Healthy people did just fine with covid-19. I see the root cause but I do not see any leadership that will fix it. I know of only 2 viruses that a healthy human requires prophylaxis shots for and one of those also requires $100k/yr in medication for the rest of the persons life. No, I do not expect to fight those without help. That said, I will not just depend on the bandage of a vaccine. I will grab every CRISPR scientist under the sun. Link added for theoretical scenario.
