But back to this surge in vaccine sales. Yes, I’ve wondered if this hasn’t been the industry’s way dealing with the loss of health insured Americans? “Can’t afford our over priced drugs? That’s alright, we’re got shots for everything now.”

There will never be a vaccine against malaria which is another word for bad air, or mal air.

888 has it right; there’s no vaccine for stupidity.

Malaria, named before the germ theory of disease, is caused by a eukaryote, a unicellular parasite. As yet, we have no vaccine for such an organism. However, to continue to call it bad air shows that your scientific knowledge is up to date for the 11th century rather than the 21st.

I wonder what number it will have to get to before people wake up and realize that this whole vaccine thing is a lie.

Man you’re stupid. I can’t believe you can navigate the internet with the brain of a gnat, but there it is. You’re doing it.

As stated by Joven, vaccines prepare your immune system, usually through a weakened or dead form of the virus, for dealing with the real thing when it comes along. The reason you’re not dead from smallpox is that vaccines work.

You can’t “kill AIDS” as it’s not a virus its a syndrome. That’s the S in AIDS, syndrome. You also can’t kill ANY virus as they are all dead as a doornail already. THEY ARE NOT LIVING THINGS.

You can kill the virus that causes AIDS, HIV. However, that is not the purpose of a vaccine. It is to prepare you for the virus when it comes along. If history is an indicator, we will likely not truly cure AIDS, but will instead vaccinate against HIV, a rapidly mutating virus that has thus far out-evolved our ability to defend against it.

NO, there is no vaccine for that!
(for stupidity)

And the point of vaccines is not to kill viruses, its to give your body defenses against them.
Living things or not, they effect your body, and vaccines give your immune system the definition updates it needs to make sure that they don’t.

I wonder what number it will have to get to before people wake up and realize that this whole vaccine thing is a lie.

18 vaccines
52 vaccines
123 vaccines
798 vaccines
10,000 vaccines

You can’t “kill AIDS” as it’s not a virus its a syndrome. That’s the S in AIDS, syndrome. You also can’t kill ANY virus as they are all dead as a doornail already. THEY ARE NOT LIVING THINGS.

It’s the biggest scam goin.

>I’ll celebrate if anyone comes up with a malaria vaccine.

DDT.

OK, but how about one that leaves us with a habitable planet and a viable ecosystem?

Clorox bleach kills just about every known virus and bacteria, or at least a really high percentage of those that harm us, but I doubt you’d drink a quart to kill influenza or even AIDS.

Just a couple of points.

#11 The HPV vaccine is recommended for boys because males can spread the disease also. Vaccinating more of the population is more desirable for preventing a disease than just half.
Also a vaccination for Alzhiemers is possible. Just because you can’t see how it can be so doesn’t mean that it is not.

For all of those who talk about the profit motive… The treatment of cancer, degenerative mental disease, or anything that takes longterm medical treatment to manage makes “Big Pharma” much more money in the long term than a couple of shots. So really one could argue that the development of vaccines will put the drug makers out of business. Now that is a conspiracy.

I hate to criticize a fellow editor, but that is hands down the most asinine thing I’ve ever read on this blog. Yes, that includes everything written by Alfred1.

Exactly what unhealthy lifestyle caused those to suffer from polio back in in the 50s?

Exactly what unhealthy lifestyle killed my mother when she died of Alzheimer’s a couple of years ago?

And I’m sure you think all those women who suffer from cervical cancer deserve it because of the unhealthy sex they had, right? So does that mean you don’t have sex, because it’s unhealthy, right?
