Factually challenged or The crew One thing you guys all share in common is that you are wrong. It is the way you think, you have intellectual vices instead of intellectual virtues You made this comment earlier, it is embedded in your worldview. <<The plague bacteria needed to evolve into something less virulent>> The problem with having that bit of tripe in your oatmeal - it is wrong. The plague hasn't changed at all, we just have treatments today. In 2015 the US had four deaths from the plague. You can have breakthrough infections with vaccines, it has always been that way. We started to vaccinate against pertussis after WW1. In 2019 in the US 4 children under 1 year of age died from pertussis. The disease has not changed at all, it still kills some babies. If you read the 2019 CDC pertussis report you will find this advice... <<even children who are up to date with their pertussis vaccines may contract pertussis. Unvaccinated children are more likely to contract pertussis and have more severe disease than those who are fully vaccinated>> No magic bullets, just a better chance of protection, that is what vaccines offer. Smallpox didn't go away and it hasn't become less deadly. We defeated it.
