thank you. I was trying to express that we cant really make assumptions, in my opinion, without knowing more about how the disease works BUT it could just be that *I* dont know enough about the disease to make assumptions.I'm not sure if I agree with your take either.. but I do gather what you are expressing and will take the time to look and consider further.
I chose not to vaccinate for Mareks because having chickens die of Mareks seems more ethical TO ME than letting them continue carrying it on to all the other birds. At least that's how I look at it - like if you have the flu and are bedridden, you're going to infect fewer people than if you're asymptomatic and are out and about the whole time you're contagious. Plus it would be a disaster for me to vaccinate lol.
