I would say avoid the antivaxxers. While measles isn’t particularly deadly, avoidance will be good practise to have under your belt once the bird flu finally makes the jump to widespread human transmissibility… which will likely keep the 50+% fatality rate, at least in the initial strains.

We won’t have to worry about the antivaxxers for long once that happens… give H5N1 a few strains of time, and antivaxxers should become pretty much extinct as a demographic.

Get vaccinated as a child, is one thing I would suggest. Talk to a nurse about updating your vaccinations if you are getting up there.

I understand protecting yourself, and protecting your family makes a lot of sense. Protecting the globe seems a bit ambitious, but noble. But how does (do? I can't grammar) vaccinations help the mail? I guess the mail carriers would be alive to deliver the mail…
