Yes Kathy. I followed that.

If its such a pressing issue why is researching the vaccine not a good thing?

So you're saying the us has intentionally modified the bird flu so that it spreads between humans?

Kathy I've said negative things about vaccines in the past so I'm not sure why you feel tht way. I just don't see any point at all in making some kind of ranked list.

The second series recently started on PBS. I know the first series is on etflix and he second should be on PBS website

Love that show!

You are aware that there are many many people researching various health issues and they can actually research more than one at a time?

Uh, yes. In the long run. And yes in developing countries. Countries that can't afford vaccines can afford supportive care even less. But yes, clean water and sanitation is also very important.

That's not critical of vaccination. It makes a fair point about the prices of vaccines being used in developing countries being to high. I have no interest in defending profiteering by pharmaceutical companies.

Vaccination is much MORE sustainable than just offering supportive care. Supportive care requires a lot more resources than vaccination, and sometimes still isn't enough.
