1 - Inadverntent Vaccination
Vaccines that are modified viruses - problem of *those* being transmitted
* Depends on characteristics of the specific modified virus
* Some people will be more-vulnerable to even a weakened modified virus
* Can address this by heavily customizing the modified virus
2 - VSV and interferon
Why isn't interferon beign released form VSV-infected cells?
Does this have anything to do with interferon.
Either VSV isn't inducing interferon, or it;s stopping interferon that is getting released.
3 - What if the vaccination causes a disease?
* The question addressed by Phase I clinical trials (giving vaccine to previously-healthy people)
* The question of pharmacology: the risk/reward analysis
4 - Sanitation
* If over-sanitation is increasing susceptibilty to some diseases, should we consciously tone it down?
Yes.
Well, not in a hospital environment
* Natural flora - body has loads of "good" bacteria and viruses in it at any one time.
Don't want to kill those.
