Most effective is to get a vaccine before being exposed to Measles ffs.
Why do you think we give herpes vaccines to pre-teens? It’s not because we are expecting them to be sexually active, it’s because it works better before they are exposed.
Just a minor correction: There is no herpes vaccine. It’s the HPV vaccine you’re thinking of.
Would be nice to get a herpes vaccine, but they’re not there yet.
I wonder if the brain drain from the US will ultimately get us there faster. The EU has less cultural stigma about funding STI vax research, and now they’re going to get the people who can do it.
You’re a silver linings kind of guy. 🙂
Maybe. Keeps me sane.
I’ll say that Trump is providing an opportunity if we can grab it. There was a big liberal world order where it was hard to replace systems that were some combination of outdated and/or cruel, because what they do was too important. A bunch of those have been tossed in a woodchipper already, and Trump ain’t done yet. If we can rebuild an effective left wing movement that takes real power, then we have an easier path to remaking those systems in a way that benefits a greater number of people.
