- rdedev 4y agoI believe you are talking about COVID vaccines wrt to Israel ? Wasn't that mostly because of a new COVID variant surge ?
- emporas 4y agoYes, the COVID vaccines is what i am referring to. Well, i don't remember the specifics, but i do remember after that, some other countries started slowly changing route as well. Actually, a medicine, a vaccine causing the disease it is trying to prevent, is such a strange concept. Imagine hiring someone to keep backup of a database. After some work, installing some programs, and moving some files around, you end up some days later, with a corrupted database and no backup. That person at the start, assures and reassures that everything will go correctly, your database will be safe forever etc. How happy you would be knowing that the person most probably responsible for the corrupted disk, is the expert disk engineer?

- gus_massa 4y agoThe injectable polio vaccine does not stop the transmission. It only make the virus not attack the nervous system, so you don't get paralysis. This is good, but it's impossible to erradícate polio with it. Once a country has no polio cases for a long enough time, they switch to only injectable version.
