[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The industry tends to be less interested in tweaking old vaccines than in developing new vaccines to add to the schedule.  [/quote]

If you found a way to prevent death in a way that has never been done before, wouldn’t you want to do it? What we have for measles today is pretty darn good. Why gild the Lilly when you can move on to preventing deaths and untold suffering from cancer? (That’s the HPV vaccine for you). And the industry tweaks the flu vaccine every year. Or at least, it did. Guess we won’t have that anymore. I was happy to take my chances on the shot every year but that choice appears to be taken away from me. [/quote]

There will be vaccines available somewhere at some cost.  It's going to be an economic and health decision that people will have to make.  Low income people will be left out in the cold as they always are but [b]people with resources that want a vaccine will get a vaccine.[/b][/quote]

Sadly, they’re just not as effective if they’re not widespread. That’s what people don’t seem to realize about public health - it’s beyond personal choices, control, and resources. You can be healthy and make every correct choice, but if you’re one of the few that don’t seroconvert, the first idiot roaming the airports with active measles is going to take you out.

For any communicable disease, the more idiots roaming the streets with disease, the worse your odds are going to be. 96% effective is great, but if you’re getting exposed 100 or 1,000 times in short order… [/quote]

This country voted to bring back measles. That ship has sailed until we at some point decide we don't want to have measles be endemic again.  And then it takes a really long time to achieve that.

In the meantime, people will do what they can do to protect their families as they always have. The days of freeloading on high vaccine rates are going to be over soon.[/quote]
