As we have seen, the immune system is a marvel. Still, people get sick with infectious disease that cannot be cured. The AIDS virus mutates quickly, so scientists feel that a vaccine is nearly impossible. In addition, indiscriminate uses of antibiotics has lead to many drug-resistant strains of organisms. Lastly, some physicians may not recommend vaccinations against certain diseases. What are your thoughts? How do we control the spread of AIDS? Are you one of those individuals that demand an antibiotic for a cold or other viral infection?
