-UK: Pollution and Flu Bring Steep Rise in Lung Related Illnesses. Biocalamities are rarely related to a single biohazard but combinations of hazards, environmental conditions and human activities. Avoiding the flu vaccine would not be so much of a concern if people and the environment are otherwise healthy. However add a flu strain with conditions that are likely to lower immunity (especially pneumonia) – extremes of temperature, conditions that force close proximity in enclosed spaces, contaminants in the air, hospitals that may not be able to handle a surge of respiratory cases, increasing number of flu strains in circulation and possibly more virulent, anxiety from political crisis – and then lower herd immunity the odds of increasing chances for susceptibility to and then transmitting the flu, possibly two or more strains and other pathogens, increase dramatically. | When I was a pandemic planner I encountered a larger than expected number of people who were responsible for implementing pandemic plans and other disaster operations who were antivax. I found that it was effective to explain that they may not personally need a flu shot or if they did get the flu is was always mild, but in their position they are likely to be with people who are immune suppressed. They were not getting the shot for themselves but for the people they were responsible to. It also helps at that time the example of Haiti cholera was current in the news. Even so there were still a significant minority who still refused vaccination based in misunderstandings about germ theory that if they did not feel sick they could not infect others, xenophobic like beliefs that as “American’s” they were immune from foreign diseases and others were not infected by American germs, or did not believe that vaccines worked at all.

Instead of having to weaponize a bioagent, or find an exotic one, a bad hombre [Meme <ADDED 181209-181125-5B> ] in can just select an existing infectious disease that has a long incubation period, in highly infectious, and could be potentially lethal if one overwhelms a medical system with cases. Then one only needs to go to a potential hotspot, go to some mass gatherings there (perhaps an antivax conference, or function for a school or church with high exemption rates) and let nature, denial and panic takes it course.
