vaccine

To me the main benefit of the vaccine is that it will calm the hysteria around Ebola.

It sounds like the vaccine is very cheap ($20) and you simply don't take the boosters if you're not returning.

Where malaria is endemic (and eventual infection is highly likely regardless of preventatives) a vaccine is a good extra proection.

And the CDC is now, for the first time ever, urging the seasonal flu vaccine on everyone in the country, from six months' of age until death.

A friend of mine was one of the primary researcher working on the vaccine in the Winnipeg lab.

A bed net is more effective than this vaccine, but nonetheless it is a very significant scientific achievement.

This vaccine may only fight one strain, leaving you to have to take pills for other destinations anyway.

Or will the new vaccine conveniently save a Western country from a sudden, mysterious outbreak of Ebola?

Yet more evidence that vaccines do work and the anti-vaccine people are idiots of the highest order.

For example a dental vaccine might make dentists unnecessary, and remove any questions of responsibility and humanness.

Thirty years to reach this point isn't necessarily representative of the actual effort expended on finding a malaria vaccine.

In this case this wasn't true, since the vaccine was done and sold before the outbreak.

I was excited then read this: "A bed net is more effective than this vaccine, but nonetheless it is a very significant scientific achievement...

Despite the many dangers that have since been linked to the hastily developed vaccine—including the confirmed link to narcolepsy—the H1N1 vaccine is now part and parcel of the "regular" seasonal flu vaccine, although most people are completely unaware of this fact.

Even after the large 2014 outbreak, Merck claims that they do not view the development of the vaccine as "a commercial opportunity", but rather as being good for PR and for employee retention.
