We pretty much can play with vaccines forever.
Every healthy responsible person gets a flu shot every single fall, we already do this and no one complains about the long term flu plan.
You might be allowing the current discourse to knock your reasoning off track. Not trying to attack you, it's easy to get carried away with something so impactful to all of us.
- criticaltinker 5y ago> Every healthy responsible person gets a flu shot every single fall The implication of your phrasing here is that people who do not get a flu shot every single fall are irresponsible - which seems pretty silly to claim given that seasonal influenza does not pose a significant risk to a majority of the population, especially healthy children and adults.
- zeku 5y agoWe get flu shots to reduce the incidence of the flu in the population so that we don't kill a bunch of old people a decade too early. You're purposefully ignoring a piece of the "critical thinking" so that you can be anti-science. I'm very disappointed in the anti science comments on HN as of late.
- AndrewBissell 5y agoIt's anti-science to say not everyone should necessarily be expected to get a flu shot now?
