Requiring me to consume a novel virus in order to live my life is morally wrong. You're making me into a test subject for the bats.

The whole point of civil society is to solve coordination problems and deliver public goods like sanitation and health. If it can't accomplish something as basic as vaccination then it is blatantly unfit for purpose. Absolutely, jettison it! The truly crazy idea here is that we would retain and bear the costs of a civil society which is so incompetent at its bread and butter job.

We don't leave the water mains to gush into the street, we don't leave the sewers to back up into the toilets, and we don't leave the viruses to circulate in the bars.

You don't need an ebola vaccine because you're not going to encounter ebola at a bar. The few outbreaks which occurred in the US were contained through tracing and isolation.
