Yet there's a massive badger cull ongoing. Bovine TB in your milk and beef.

Seems the cull is more expensive than vaccinating the cattle.
Maybe they'll start culling the sick humans instead of vaccinating them too.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

2 of the cats just glared at me and stalked away, while one rubbed against me until I stroked his stomach. The dog just barked and ran in circles."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Though if the UK population were vaccinated against TB then what difference does it make if the cattle have a 'bit of a cough'?Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Originally posted by Bee View PostThey can do a test and vaccinate the ones with negative tests, but all these procedures to control the disease are more expensive. Cutting on vaccines it's a plan to reduce costs, the same in humans. Giving up the TB vaccine in humans assuming that the people don't travel it's stupid.
Hence it was worked out unless you came from certain communities it wasn't cost effective to vaccinate you against TB as you were unlikely to get it. Plus it doesn't work for the type of TB the majority of adults get.
On the other hand it is cost effective to give certain other people with weakened immune systems antibiotics if they get what looks like a bacterial infection, as it is cheaper in keeping them out of hospital where they will be given stronger more broad spectrum IV antibiotics."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by Hobosapien View PostSo when they say vaccinate they mean give them TB.
And yes on the one hand, there are tests that are more expensive that can tell the difference. On the other hand, for the export market, that's a non-starter. The buyers will just get clean cows from elsewhere. On the gripping hand, we won't have an export market for much longer, so we might as well vaccinate the cows now.Down with racism.
