Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3550417, member: 1414"] We've had a vaccine for Measles since, what, the early 70s? (too lazy to look it up). Measles still isn't eradicated. In fact the only virus we have successfully eradicated in the wild is smallpox. I will say this: we've never put this much effort into any one pathogen before. Not even close. So maybe we can pull this off. But we can't wait for that. Schools need to be open, those most at risk need to be protected and we all need to proceed with living, but with more caution than we previously exercised. Honestly, I'm slightly ashamed at how cavalier we've all been about influenza all these years. [/QUOTE]
