:Especially since most people probably won't get it soon, we are unlikely to reach 75% vaccination at all, & even if we did, it doesn't address the wider issue of transit-amplified transmissible disease exposure in a transit-dependent society, in which overall immune health is declining due to multiple compounding factors that are non-trivial to address. A vaccine for CoViD '19 is surely called for, but it won't solve the underlying issues that created this pandemic.

::The covid vaccine also uses some novel methods which may result in faster generation of vaccines against other viruses. If the only virus-specific part of vaccine is the RNA, it means it can be transported over internet, synthesized and turned into vaccine in distributed way. It's not something actually taken advantage of yet, but maybe next time ... -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 05:19, 26 December 2020 (UTC) | ::The covid vaccine also uses some novel methods which may result in faster generation of vaccines against other viruses.

| − | :::Was this in response to what I said? Because it still doesn't address any of the broader issues I raised: Vaccines aren't a solution, they're a band-aid. Plus the vaccine in question is necessarily highly specific; it does not confer added resistance to bird\swine flu, MRSA, ebola, or e-coli for instance. In fact, vaccination of this kind has negative health effects of its own, which although typically minor, nonetheless preclude vaccinating against everything all the time. Even accounting for varying lifestyles, US populations are categorically less healthy than we were two generations ago, & that trend will continue to worsen indefinitely so long as the environmental stressors we've been creating continue to increase exponentially. Unless we address the innate dangers posed by high transit volumes, & reduce environmental degradation of our immunological capacity, we're likely to see much worse pandemics in the near future.
