Grossed out

Екатерина Шульман высказалась про общую вакцинацию в России:

Конечно, здесь есть некоторая засада и каждая политическая модель, каждый политический режим будет по-разному придумывать, как из этого выходить. Насколько можно людей принуждать, насколько надо с ними договариваться, какие-то лояльные группы вакцинировать, демонстративно вакцинировать высших руководителей, ну, вот Екатерина Вторая сделала с коровьей оспой, говорить - вот, смотрите, императрица привилась, наследника привила и жива осталась, значит, всем тоже можно. Тогда это становится даже модным и все наперегонки бегут демонстрировать свою лояльность и тоже вакцинироваться".

Параллельно на РБК проскочила новость про то, что Путин вакцинироваться не будет.

Как результат, я вспомнил смешную сценку из «Inside Amy Schumer», s04e09, где пародируются посиделки у ведущего Энди Коэна (Andy Cohen):

Amy: I’m launching my own line of makeup which is called “Totally Amy” and …
Kimberley (trying to sting Amy): … and, of course, it is tested on animals.
Amy (slightly annoyed): No! It is not tested on animals. It is maaaaade from animals... and only then it is tested on animals.
Kimberly (shocked, whispering): Monster.
Andy Cohen: Great. Are you wearing it on you now?
Amy (with indignation): No! … Grossed.

Трумэн вакцинировался в апреле 1947 - во время вспышки оспы в Нью-Йорке. Это был одним из самым успешных примеров быстрой победы над эпидемией благодаря слаженным действиям правительства https://tijd.dreamwidth.org/72897.html

President Truman got a new smallpox vaccination for his trip to New York today after all. It had been stated that the visit to the metropolis where several smallpox cases have been found would be made without a recent vaccination. But it was disclosed Sunday night that Brig. Gen. Wallace H. Graham, White House physician, gave Mr. Truman a smallpox vaccination late Saturday.



В 1976 президент Форд демонстративно вакцинировался от гриппа. Программа вакцинации развертывалась с помпой, потому что была призвана восстановить доверие к федеральному правительству, утраченное после Уотергейта, и подкрепить шансы Форда на выборах. Закончилось полным фиаско.

In the late winter of 1976, a completely novel strain of influenza was causing hundreds of respiratory infections at Fort Dix, an army post located in central New Jersey. Initially, this virus appeared to be closely genetically related to the 1918 flu pandemic that killed over a 100 million people globally, a pandemic that shared the very same Fort Dix as one its points of origin. These striking coincidences, along with the virus’s “sustained person-to-person spread,” prompted global public health officials to start planning for what could conceivably burgeon into a series of large and deadly outbreaks, if not an actual pandemic, in the upcoming winter.
But while the World Health Organization adopted a cautious “wait and see” policy to monitor the virus’s pattern of disease and to track the number of emerging infections, President Gerald Ford’s administration embarked on a zealous campaign to vaccinate every American with brisk efficiency. In late March, President Ford announced in a press conference the government’s plan to vaccinate “every man, woman, and child in the United States”. Emergency legislation for the “National Swine Flu Immunization Program” was signed shortly thereafter on April 15th, 1976 and six months later high profile photos of celebrities and political figures receiving the flu jab appeared in the media. Even President Ford himself was photographed in his office receiving his shot from the White House doctor.
Within 10 months, nearly 25% of the US population, or 45 million citizens, was vaccinated, but serious problems persisted throughout the process. Due to the urgency of creating new immunizations for a novel virus, the government used an attenuated “live virus” for the vaccine instead of a inactivated or “killed” form, increasing the probability of adverse side effects among susceptible groups of people receiving the vaccination. Furthermore, prominent American scientists and health professionals began questioning the campaign’s large expense and its drain on scarce public health resource.
With President Ford’s reelection campaign looming on the horizon, the campaign increasingly appeared politically motivated. The rationale for mass vaccination seemed to stem from only the barest of biological reasoning — it turned out that the flu wasn’t even related to the virus that caused the grisly 1918 epidemic and, indeed, those who were infected with the flu only suffered from a mild illness while the vaccine, for the reasons stated above, resulted in over four-hundred and fifty people developing the paralyzing Guillain-Barré syndrome. Meanwhile, outside the United States’ borders, the flu never mushroomed into the anticipated public health disaster. It was the pandemic that never was. The New York Times went so far as to dub the whole affair a “fiasco,” damning one of the largest and probably one of the most well-intentioned public health initiatives by the US government.
