Vaccinate humanity

Much dilema over vaccines. As a biologist the principle is simple, give your immune system a dose of the nasty and it will remember how to go to war for real the next time. Unfortunatly it may not be the best thing.Thanks to Laz for the links.

http://www.vaclib.org/ seems to have compiled just about every report on vaccines that I've seen before. There's a good deal of info under the Science heading in the menu bar. Pages I found particularly relevant after last night's ramblings are:

http://www.vaclib.org/intro/present/index.htm - mortality graphs for various diseases showing vaccine introduction points.

http://www.vaclib.org/intro/present/index3.htm - smallpox, the great success story...

http://www.vaclib.org/intro/present/index4.htm - polio, or is it meningitis? ...

http://www.vaclib.org/intro/present/index5.htm - what's in a vaccine? Do like the cartoon summary at the bottom.
