The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
@luckytran medical privacy is obviously very important for so many reasons, but it’s also obscured and hidden the suffering caused by infectious disease. The visceral imagery of the iron lung and the widespread photos of people suffering from measles, smallpox, etc are something we don’t get thanks to confidentiality. Out of sight, out of mind.
@nbailey@luckytran at the beginning of the pandemic we should have had cameras in the hospitals showing people gasping for air as they died of COVID so people knew what they wee signing up for if they didn't wear a mask
