Reply to comment by Suspicious_Ad_4768 in What determines whether we can create a vaccine for an illness or not? by ShelfordPrefect
Yeah, the fact that no one dies OF herpes has a lot to do with the impetus to find a vaccine vs everyone who gets rabies dies. And even then HPV is related to herpes, can lead to cancer, and now has a vaccine. So…wait patiently, probably. They’re working on the deadly ones first, not the annoying ones that do have a reasonably easy treatment.
