    Keep it in check, Canada. (nervous laughter) We’re not equipped to deal with that right now.

        They’re not going to stop people doing their own research into infectious diseases and vaccines though so it’ll be fine.

          They’re not going to stop it, just seriously disincentivize it. Pulling billions of dollars of research funding and making it doubtful whether any developed vaccine can be sold in the USA will have a huge effect on the ability of academic institutions to do research and the willingness of corporations to do so.

            Sorry, I guess that I needed a “/s” judging by the downvotes.

            I was referring to how anti-vaccers all “do their own research” which generally involves no actual research at all.

              Ah yes, I misunderstood, sorry. I’ll leave my other comment because it’s still a serious concern, and there will be people who think all research should be privately funded.

          Half of Americans have a reading level below 6th grade. I’m sure they are up on virology though.

    As long as it will not mutate to be transmissible between humans, I’m not that worried.

    When it does however…
