Every disease can be treated without a vaccine. But treatments aren't 100%, and treatments come with their own risk. Taking medicine isn't risk-free, and certainly not necessarily less risky than vaccinations. So, even if you believe it's fine to just treat the disease instead of trying to prevent it, that doesn't mean you skip out on risk. You could have more, just from the medicines alone, not even considering the effects of the disease itself.
- odyssey7 9mo agoThere are vast trade-offs that are worth considering beyond what you’ve outlined. I encourage you to think more about this.
- array_key_first 9mo agoDo you intend on elaborating on these, allegedly, "vast" tradeoffs? It's a bit rich to be talking about tradeoffs when I'm the only one here addressing risk in an honest way. It's not "free" to treat diseases. The risk of the treatment is something you have to weigh in, in addition to the risk of the disease itself.
