I think this vaccine is fantastic. However, it seems the idiots of the internet are out again, and they are pissed off about ring vaccination. "Why would you not vaccinate the whole country? You're letting innocent people die!" Obviously they haven't heard of things like money, manufacturing constraints, or manpower..... Or the effectiveness of ring vaccination for that matter.

And all done without the 'power of prayer.' 

Cool, huh?

Well, if you're referring to my designation as Christian, I have a different interpretation of how prayer and miracles work than magic from "God the faith-vending machine." If just in general, science is indeed an amazing thing.

I have to wonder though, if this vaccine were ever made mandatory in the US, how many anti-vaxer idiots would refuse in favor of exposing their kids to the "natural" disease.
