It's always all or nothing with Greg. Let'er rip. We can't do everything,
so let's do nothing.
How much post vaccination transmission is there with any of those
diseases. I was alive in the 50s and nobody was wearing a "polio"
mask.
Why stop at the 50's. Why not go back to the dawn of civilization. Could
it
be because we've learned a few things since then?
Completely leaving aside the rather inconvenient for Fretwell fact
that polio transmission mechanism is fecal-oral, not aerosols.
Then why was it brought up in this context?
Because pig ignorant fools like you abound.
(look up at the post I was responding to)
Trader is the one who took us off in the weeds
comparing this to Small Pox, Diphtheria and Polio.
He was doing nothing of the sort. He was in fact
rubbing your stupid nose in the fact that even
when a particular vaccine isnt 100% effective
in everyone, they work anyway and eliminate
the disease as a significant medical problem.
That was my point. This is different
Not with whether vaccination works there isnt.
The only time it doesn't eliminate the medical
problem with a particular virus is when that
virus mutates very quickly like with the common
cold and influenza. And even influenza is helped
significantly with vaccination.
This is a situation where having a million hosts (a very
conservative estimate, about 0.3% as apposed to the 5%
they predict) carrying and spreading mutations of a
disease as virulent as this should be a concern.
Of course it is, but not a reason to not vaccinate, ****wit.
Maybe it's nothing but up until now we have been
basing policy on the worst possible scenario
no matter what the experience indicates.
Bull**** we have.
