I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t even need to worry about most sicknesses in a few decades
ok how about this:::: if u don’t vaccinate and ur kid gives my kid polio or something i can shoot ur kid
@Pino Sinatra there are other forms of vaccines that take that into account
its why the nasal spray is catching on so much
Nope
Vaccines are spooks
Absolutely not. And that's not the same as being anti-vax. It doesn't cause autism.
Hold your horses there
how does that prevent a reaction that normal vaccines don't?
it's a health risk, and that's fucked up that people put themselves and others in danger
now a fitting resolution to the problem? that's where most people are stumped
I see it as an effective way to improve the overall health in the population
Remember that over 50 years ago polio was a serious threat that could've ruined your life in an outbreak
Normally I’d say no to mandatory government programs, but Vaccines are a huge benefit to society. It’s critical to the eradication of certain disease.
Now it's pretty much a myth and I think there's around 10 people using iron lungs now
diseases that we haven't had to worry about in decades are coming back because of that hasbeen model and that quack doctor
Well, that's partly true, germs adapt and they are becoming more powerful as we still use drugs for everything
Now that lets to another question
Could we use viruses to fight diseases once vaccines become useless?
actually the biggest concern is overuse on our livestock
iirc 80% of antibiotics are used in livestock
yep
what we really need to tackle is factory farming, thats our achilles heel
@Da_Fish I think compulsory anything chemical being put into you is bad
Please do not ping me
That's the motherload of honeypots for baddies
for QOTD answers
Oh ok sorry
The only bigger honeypots I can think of are in communism and ancapitalism
how is it a honeypot?
pleasure from seeing both sides fighting I guess?
Tribalism?
idk, it just doesn't make any sense to me to refer to vaccines as a honeypot to me
Create a disease that infects and wipes out harmful bacteria and viruses, yet doesn't harm other cells/life? I see no way that can go wrong.
I can imagine post-antibiotic healthcare similar to "chemo" for different diseases. Of course, most diseases caused by bacteria and viruses are not terminal so treatment for, say, measles would be short-lived and mild compared to cancer. Especially if they can target specifically the measles virus.
Eventually we will have another Alexander Fleming and another penicillin. And then diseases will resist that method to; an eternal arms race until one side gets wiped out. At least, that's the telos of medicine science, to end sickness.
Seems fair
At the end we can't run away from evolution
@Joe Powerhouse What are you referring to when you say "disease that infects and wipes out harmful bacteria and viruses"
I can only assume you must be referring to bacteriophages
Which wouldn't be created, but rather incubated out of nature
