There's no you do you and I'll do me with vaccines
Pathogens do not follow a social contract; humans can
In 2019, low vaccination rates in Samoa let measles kill 83 and hospitalize 1868
Many were babies too young for vaccination; babies that needed the community to be vaccinated to protect them

Interesting thread, interesting piece!
If an #H5N1 pandemic starts tomorrow or in three months, there will be little mystery as to how it happened. The conditions are all there. They have been for a while.
So in some ways the more interesting question to me at the moment is: Why aren’t we in a pandemic yet?

Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started?
Some scientists examining mutations found in H5N1 viruses fear major outbreak is imminent but others says pathogen remains unpredictable
