    Jesus fucking christ.

    Just admit you were wrong about not being able to vaccinate against bacterial diseases.

    Pneumonococcal vaccine vacinates against a bacteria responsible for the vast majority of pneumonia cases. Hence, it’s name.

      Sure, as soon as you admit you were wrong about pneumonia. Then we can both admit wrongess. But I doubt you will somehow.

        Yes, I failed to acknowledge that pneumonia, in a minority of cases, is caused by a virus.

        Now, let’s hear ypu say “My bad, didn’t realize we could vaccinate against bacterial now! Super cool!”

        Because, being honest, this sub-thread is now debating if we can vaccinate against bacteria, which you claimed we cannot.
