@sun the system is being attacked right now because there has been no appetite to spend resources on these sorts of problems.

e.g., we know some children have issues with vaccines. (animals as well) But it is mostly ignored because the odds are low of a negative reaction. Is anyone spending money studying how to calibrate vaccine dosages to prevent this? Why does a morbidly obese person get the same dosage as everyone else?

Why aren't we doing more titers? Actually measure the level of immunity instead of demanding people get vaccines they may not need a booster for?

I can do this for my dog. I can demand a titer and then she won't need a rabies vaccine for 6 years instead of the normal yearly vaccination (some places are moving to 3 years now, but still)

I'd pay out of pocket for this. Let me go to a lab, draw some blood, and then tell me what I actually need boosters for. None of this guessing bullshit. We have the technology, just use it

But no, we just assume that the way it has always been done is the best way. We don't challenge these notions anymore because they're just considered "solved problems".

People are right to be concerned and even angry but the answer isn't "stop doing it", it's "do it better with modern science"
