"There is only one way humanity has stopped viruses, and it is immunity. "Not true
- We defeated Ebola in this country through containment and quarantines. Granted it didn't get a very big foothold.
- We defeated SARS the same way. Again we only had 8 cases, but the world had 8000.
- We defeated Small Pox through a vaccine.
- We defeated Malaria (not a virus) in the U.S. through DDT.
- We defeated Polio through containment and a vaccine.
- We defeated Rinderpest virus in Cattle through a vaccine.
- We could defeat viral STD's through abstinence except in Marriage. We won't. But we know how to.
- We defeated Mad Cow disease (not a virus, but a prion) by containment, killing the infected cows and changing feeding content to prevent infection through feed.
I don't understand why flubros are so fatalistic towards this disease. Y'all are like little kids hiding your head in your hands from something scary. Fight this!!! Don't just give in.

Vaccines are a means towards immunity. Immunity is the key.
