Vaxer: get vaccinated! get vaccinated! get vaccinated!
Antivaxer: Nahh! Nahh! Nahh! (nothing changed. Take your vaccine and get the hell out of my sunlight!)
To be clear: you don't think scientists should be working on vaccines for deadly diseases?
Wise thinks that smallpox, tuberculosis, influenza, measles, poliomyelitis, yellow fever etc should still be permitted to unnecessarily kill hundreds of millions worldwide.
Smallpox alone is estimated to have killed 300 to 500 million and polio has not only killed hundreds of thousands but left many more severely paralyzed.
But wise thinks he knows everything so would condemn these numbers to death - what sort of person would do that?
The smallpox vaccine is actually dangerous. There were many deaths and injuries associated with its use. That is why despite the threat of its used in some future bio terrorism, no doctor wants to give it and be responsible for the death or injury that follows.
But this topic as you would be aware rab is not about diseases or vaccinations. It is about the coronavirus
Personally I feel the response from Australias government has been one of racism. If the coronavirus was in America, you can bet your house there would be NO TRAVEL BAN. But for the Chinese? Different story
Despite the fact that China is taking this threat far more seriously than America would do. Can you imagine America closing off entire states? Now China may be dodgy when reporting the numbers but they are taking this threat seriously.
Keep in mind the mortality rate, while yet to be finalised is very low. In the order of 2% or less. We also dont have figures on the age range of those or how the people who died were treated. For example, are the deaths mostly related to vulnerable people (old age, children or people with other medical conditions like diabetes or asthma etc).
The Australian government has stoked fear and racism that anybody who 'looks Asian' is treated like a leper. Heaven forbid if one of them coughs
