- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoWe're better off without any other defense from viral infection? We have no other defense from measles except vaccination? Are you saying that, for measles, quarantines are ineffective, isolation is ineffective, negative pressure rooms are ineffective, contact tracing is ineffective? And we're better off because those are ineffective and we only have a single layer of defense? I'm a trained and experienced Cybersecurity professional, and by analogy to our Defense in Depth concepts, we're better off when there are multiple effective, overlapping, simultaneous defenses against some kind of attack. I think it would be foolish to abolish other defensive measures against measles only because vaccines are allegedly so effective.
