They really need to focus on vaccines for bacteria.

 

I seem to recall about ten years ago that someone came up with a vaccine to prevent cavities in teeth. I don't think anything came of it. There are only a few bacteria that cause cavities, so this might be one thing to look at. Additionally, stomach ulcers seem to be exclusively associated with a specific bacteria (H. Pylorum). Although antibiotics are good at fixing this, bacteria can develop resistance over time. It's hard to develop a resistance to a vaccine.

Heart disease is caused by atheriosclerosis

 

ONE form of heart disease is caused by the constriction of cardiac arteries from diet and lifestyle. There are many other ways to break a heart (pun intended). Some are congenital (ie. WPW), others are idiosyncratic. A vaccine will fix few of these.

When people have to face actual consequences for their actions, not just pay a corporate fine, their actions will change.
